sourcetype visibility to Splunk Apps

Hi,

I have a universal forwarder forwarding some log files to a Splunk index instance. I created a sourcetype for these log files. Now in the default search app, I can see the logs when I type "sourcetype=xxx". But the same sourcetype is not available in the Splunk app I created.

Is all sourcetypes visable to all Splunk apps? If not, where can I configure the permissions?

Thanks.

Basically, visibility at the sourcetype (and index) level is defined by the logged-in user's role, not by the application itself.
