I am running Splunk version 5.0.2.
I want to add write permissions for the navigation menu to a user role. I go to "Manager » User interface » Navigation menus" as the admin user and click the Permissions link for the entry "default". I check the appropriate user role in the Write column and click Save. The file /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/metadata/local.meta show this for the navigation menu file:
[nav/default]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, naviwrite ]
owner = nobody
version = xxxx
modtime = xxxx
Users in naviwrite can't edit/save the content of the navigation menu entry "default".
When I click on the Permissions link again, the only role ticked in the Write column is admin. The content of local.meta still shows
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin, naviwrite ]
The test setup does not have these problems. Looks like local.meta is totally ignored.
How can I get this to work?
