Make dbx app not visable to users but still visable to admins

[hartfoml]

How can I take the DBX app out of the list of app for users but still leave it viable for admins

I can take permissions away from users for the dbx home view and that will keep them out of the app but it still shows up in the available app list for users.

I can tun of the "view this app" but this takes it out of the admins list of apps.

I can take permissions away from users for the app but then they can not see searches that were created in the app for the users.

Any suggestions?

If for example a search is using one of the db* commands, users are going to need those commands - and hence read permissions for the DBConnect app. If a search is merely using data indexed by DBConnect, there's no need to have read permissions for the app.

I'm not sure why you thought I was upset (?) or the length of time being a consideration, it's a matter-of-fact thing for me. Lots of folks on here taking what the smart people like @martin_mueller give and post as their own answer. I've known Martin for awhile and didn't like the idea of someone 'apparently' taking credit for his work/answers. I upvoted because Martin doesn't have a problem with it and it's a good answer. @hartfomi Have a happy week!

This helps a lot. I am not putting the DB info into splunk and when the dashboard runes the data is puled from the DB so they will need access to the DBX app. thanks much.

That depends on the search. If for example a search is using one of the db* commands, users are going to need those commands - and hence read permissions for the DBConnect app. If a search is merely using data indexed by DBConnect, there's no need to have read permissions for the app.

If I move the search some-ware else what parts of the DBX app do the users need to have available to operate the search?

[martin_mueller]

I fear that's going to be tough. Have you considered moving the searches elsewhere?
