I think this is a typical Splunk use case wherein, we want to give access to users who can only VIEW dashboards but should not query or issue search commands.
I see some documentation on this: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.4/Security/Addmanagementaccesstocustomroles but, following this, it is still users to fire search queries.
For example, when a user has a access to a dashboard, and then, access the dashboard page, there is a small link called "view results". Upon clicking on view results, it is bring search box screen. How do we just give access to dashboard URLs alone and, no access search UI.
I tried the other approach of creating a new role with no search capability but, it is not allowing the user to view dashboards.
thanks..
