We have built an application in Splunk and it has function called "add asset" in UI. What capabilities are required for the user to use the "add Asset" functionality of the app?

As a Splunk admin I am able to add a js file to a customers app via "Edit Properties" of the app and then "Upload asset" however the application owners don't have permission, they can however created other knowledge objects, lookups, alerts, etc.  Which capability turns this feature "Upload asset" off/on?  We may have it disabled for security purposes but would like to know which capability it is.

Thanks!

Hi @saichandjawari,
Only one question: the functionality "add asset" is done using the Lookup Editor or it's a dashboard?

if it uses Lookup Editor you need to create a role that :

  • accesses the App and its menu,
  • accesses in read and write the Lookup Editor App,
  • reads and writes the lookup used in the function.

If instead it's a dashboard you have only to create a role that is enabled for:

  • accesses the indexes used in the searches,
  • accesses the App,
  • accesses the dashboards "add asset",
  • accesses all the knowledge objects (fields, tags, eventtypes, etc...) used in the searches,
  • reads all the lookups used in the dashboard.

Ciao.

@gcusello, the option is seen when you go to app on you search head and when you try to "edit properties" of the app.

Hi @saichandjawari,,
the "add asset" function is used to upload an image or the app logo or something else (css or js) to use in the app.
The needed capability to use it it to write objects at App level.

I usually don't use it It's easier to directly copy files (restart is needed everytime).

Hi @gcusello, Is there any particular capability that we can assign to the user/role to use this function?
