How many authorize.conf files are there in a Splunk environment?

[prathikpisplunk]

I found that there were two different authorize.conf files in different locations in our Splunk environment.

So I wanted to know if we have only one authorize.conf or are there multiple files?

There is no set number. See Configuration file directories and the topics that follow it in the Admin Manual for information about configuration file directories, copies, and precedence.
