When i have created the new user And provoid the role for User that time below error will be occurred
*******"An error occurred while rendering the page template. See web_service.log for more details"*
Solution for that :-
first go the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/authorize.conf and remove to latest created capabilities and save that file
then again create new role and assign the new capabilities according to the new created user for ex ( user, admin,power) and follow the given link to assign new capabilities

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.1/Security/Rolesandcapabilities

Its working..
Thanks

Posting here since this is the first result on search engines. In my case I was adding a new user and probably I messed up something with the roles/capabilities.

What I was trying to achive is create an user with reduced capabilities, what i got is running Splunk instance (splunkd) but with admin user unable to view/change/modify anything or do any searches!

Restarting splunk did not help, neither trying to modify/deleting accounts with CLI, as far as I can tell. Looking for the log as OP did raise my attention on ServerZoneInfo, but i really couldn't understand its meaning.

What I did is modify the file in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/authorize.conf and enabling capabilities for specified roles. Playing a little with this files gives me back access and admin account worked correctly.

Hope this helps anyone

This same issue happened to me after I created a new Authorization Role and failed to assign any capabilities. Ensure you at minimum have the search capability.

Default User Role Capabilities

• change_own_password
• get_metadata
• get_typeahead
• input_file
• list_inputs
• output_file
• request_remote_tok
• rest_apps_view
• rest_properties_get
• rest_properties_set
• search
