# Version 9.4.7 # ############################################################################ # OVERVIEW ############################################################################ # This file contains descriptions of the settings that you can use to # create roles in authorize.conf. # # There is an authorize.conf file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/ directory. # Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory. # The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original # location. # # To set custom configurations, create a new file with the name authorize.conf in # the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ directory. Then add the specific settings # that you want to customize to the local configuration file. # For examples, see authorize.conf.example. You must restart the Splunk instance # to enable configuration changes. # # To learn more about configuration files (including file precedence) see the # documentation located at # http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles # ############################################################################ # GLOBAL SETTINGS ############################################################################ # Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings. # * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top of # the file. # * Each .conf file should have at most one default stanza. If there are # multiple default stanzas, settings are combined. In the case of # multiple definitions of the same setting, the last definition in the # file takes precedence. # * If a setting is defined at both the global level and in a specific # stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence. [default] srchFilterSelecting = <boolean> * Determines whether a role's search filters are used for selecting or eliminating during role inheritance. * If "true", the search filters are used for selecting. The filters are joined with an OR clause when combined. * If "false", the search filters are used for eliminating. The filters are joined with an AND clause when combined. * Example: * role1 srchFilter = sourcetype!=ex1 with selecting=true * role2 srchFilter = sourcetype=ex2 with selecting = false * role3 srchFilter = sourcetype!=ex3 AND index=main with selecting = true * role3 inherits from role2 and role 2 inherits from role1 * Resulting srchFilter = ((sourcetype!=ex1) OR (sourcetype!=ex3 AND index=main)) AND ((sourcetype=ex2)) * Default: true [capability::<capability>] * DO NOT edit, remove, or add capability stanzas. The existing capabilities are the full set of Splunk system capabilities. * the Splunk platform adds all of its capabilities this way. * For the default list of capabilities and assignments, see authorize.conf under the 'default' directory. * Only alphanumeric characters and "_" (underscore) are allowed in capability names. Examples: * edit_visualizations * view_license1 * Descriptions of specific capabilities are listed below. [role_<roleName>] <capability> = <enabled> * A capability that is enabled for this role. You can list many capabilities for each role. * NOTE: 'enabled' is the only accepted value here, as capabilities are disabled by default. * Roles inherit all capabilities from imported roles, and you cannot disable inherited capabilities. * Role names cannot have uppercase characters. Usernames, however, are case-insensitive. * Role names cannot contain spaces, colons, semicolons, or forward slashes. importRoles = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of other roles and their associated capabilities that the Splunk platform should import. * Importing other roles also imports the other aspects of that role, such as allowed indexes to search. * Default: A role imports no other roles grantableRoles = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of roles that determines which users, roles, and capabilities that a user with a specific set of permissions can manage. * This setting lets you limit the scope of user, role, and capability management that these users can perform. * When you set 'grantableRoles', a user that holds a role with the 'edit_roles_grantable' and 'edit_user' capabilities can do only the following with regards to access control management for the Splunk Enterprise instance: * They can edit only the roles that contain capabilities that are a union of the capabilities in the roles that you specify with this setting. * Any new roles that they create can contain only the capabilities that are a union of these capabilities. * Any new roles that they create can search only the indexes that have been assigned to all roles that have been specified with this setting. * They can see only users who have been assigned roles that contain capabilities that are a union of these capabilities. * They can assign users only to roles whose assigned capabilities are a union of these capabilities. * For this setting to work, you must assign a user at least one role that: * Has both the 'edit_roles_grantable' and 'edit_user' capabilities assigned to it, and * Does NOT have the 'edit_roles' capability assigned to it. * Example: * Consider a Splunk instance where role1-role4 have the following capabilities: role1: cap1, cap2, cap3 role2: cap4, cap5, cap6 role3: cap1, cap6 role4: cap4, cap8 * And user1-user4 have been assigned the following roles: user1: role1 user2: role2 user3: role3 user4: role4 * If you define the 'grantableRoles' setting as follows for the 'power' role: * [role_power] * grantableRoles = role1;role2 * and edit the role so that the 'edit_roles_grantable' capability is selected, and the 'edit_roles' capability is not selected, then a user that has been assigned the 'power' role can make only the following access control changes on the instance: * View or edit the following users: user1, user2, user3 * Assign the following roles: role1, role2, role3 * Create roles with the following capabilities: cap1, cap2, cap3, cap4, cap5, cap6 * Only the 'admin' role holds the 'edit_roles_grantable' capability on a new Splunk Enterprise installation. * If you make changes to the 'admin' role, 'grantableRoles' is set to "admin". * This setting does not work if you use tokens to authenticate into a Splunk Enterprise instance. * Default (if 'admin' role is edited): admin * Default (otherwise): No default srchFilter = <string> * A list of search filters for this role. * Users who hold this role have their searches filtered by the expression provided by this setting. * The value for this setting can contain one or more of the following terms: * 'source=' * 'host=' and host tags * 'index=' and index names * 'eventtype=' and event type tags * 'sourcetype=' * search fields * wildcards * You can use the AND and OR operators to include multiple terms or make searches more restrictive. * The value for this setting can't be any of the following: * saved searches * time operators * regular expressions * any fields or modifiers Splunk Web can overwrite * To override any search filters from imported roles, give this setting a value of "*", as the 'admin' role does. * Default: empty string (the Splunk platform does not perform search filtering) fieldFilterExemption = <comma-separated list> * A list of field filters from which this role is exempt. * If a role is exempt from a field filter, the field filter is not run at search time for any users with this role. * Roles inherit all field filter exemptions from imported roles. You can't remove inherited field filter exemptions. * No default. srchTimeWin = <integer> * Maximum time range, in seconds, of a search. * The Splunk platform applies this search time range limit backwards from the latest time specified for a search. * If a user has multiple roles with distinct search time range limits, or has roles that inherit from roles with distinct search time range limits, the Splunk platform applies the least restrictive search time range limits to the role. * For example, if user X has role A (srchTimeWin = 30s), role B (srchTimeWin = 60s), and role C (srchTimeWin = 3600s), user X gets a maximum search time range of 1 hour. * When set to '-1', the role does not have a search time range limit. This value can be overidden by the maximum search time range value of an inherited role. * When set to '0' (infinite), the role does not have a search time range limit. This value cannot be overidden by the maximum search time range value of an inherited role. * This setting does not apply to real-time searches. * Default: -1 srchTimeEarliest = <integer> * The earliest event time that can be searched, in seconds before the current wall clock time. * If a user is a member of a role with a 'srchTimeEarliest' limit, or a role that inherits from other roles with 'srchTimeEarliest' limits, the Splunk platform applies the least restrictive time limit from the roles to the user. * For example, if a user is a member of role A (srchTimeEarliest = 86400), and inherits role B (srchTimeEarliest = 3600) and role C (srchTimeEarliest = -1 (default)), the user gets an effective earliest time limit of 1 day (86400 seconds) ago. * When set to '-1', the role does not have a earliest time limit. This value can be overidden by the earliest time value of an inherited role. * When set to '0' (infinite), the role does not have an earliest time limit. This value cannot be overidden by the earliest time limit value of an inherited role. * This setting does not apply to real-time searches. * Default: -1 srchDiskQuota = <integer> * The maximum amount of disk space, in megabytes, that can be used by search jobs for a specific user with this role. * In search head clustering environments, this setting takes effect on a per-member basis. There is no cluster-wide accounting. * The dispatch manager checks the quota at the dispatch time of a search. Additionally, the search process checks the quota at intervals that are defined in the 'disk_usage_update_period' setting in limits.conf as long as the search is active. * A user can occasionally exceed the quota because the search process does not constantly check the quota. * Exceeding this quota causes the search to be auto-finalized immediately, even if there are results that have not yet been returned. * When set to 0, this setting does not limit the amount of disk space that search jobs for a user with the role can use. * Default: 100 srchJobsQuota = <integer> * The maximum number of historical searches that a user who holds this role can run concurrently. * A value of 0 means that there is no limit to the number of historical searches that a user who holds this role can run concurrently. * If you give the 'enable_cumulative_quota' setting in the limits.conf file a value of "true", then the 'cumulativeSrchJobsQuota' setting in this file also has an effect on the number of concurrent searches that a user who holds this role can run. * For example, in this scenario, if you have a role named 'srchUsers' for which "cumulativeSrchJobsQuota = 350" while "srchJobsQuota = 100" and you have 4 users who hold the 'srchUsers' role, those users can only run 350 searches in total concurrently. * If 'enable_cumulative_quota' has a value of "false", those same 4 users can run a total of 400 searches concurrently. * This setting does not control the number of real-time searches that can be run currently. See the 'rtSrchJobsQuota' setting. * Default: 3 rtSrchJobsQuota = <integer> * The maximum number of real-time searches that a user who holds this role can run concurrently. * A value of 0 means that there is no limit to the number of real-time search jobs that a user who holds this role can run concurrently. * If you give the 'enable_cumulative_quota' setting in the limits.conf file a value of "true", then the 'cumulativeSrchJobsQuota' setting in this file also has an effect on the number of concurrent searches that a user who holds this role can run. * For example, under this condition, if you have a role named 'rt_srchUsers' for which "cumulativeRTSrchJobsQuota = 350" while "rtSrchJobsQuota = 100" and you have 4 users who hold the 'rt_srchUsers' role, those users can only run 350 searches in total concurrently. * If 'enable_cumulative_quota' has a value of "false", those same 4 users can run a total of 400 real-time searches concurrently. * Default: 6 srchMaxTime = <integer><unit> * The maximum amount of time that search jobs from specific users with this role are allowed to run. * After a search runs for this amount of time, it auto-finalizes. * If the role inherits from other roles, the value of the 'srchMaxTime' setting is specified in the included roles. * This maximum value does not apply to real-time searches. * Examples: 1h, 10m, 2hours, 2h, 2hrs, 100s * Default: 100days srchIndexesDefault = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of indexes to search when no index is specified. * These indexes can be wild-carded ("*"), with the exception that "*" does not match internal indexes. * To match internal indexes, start with an underscore ("_"). All internal indexes are represented by "_*". * The wildcard character "*" is limited to match either all the non-internal indexes or all the internal indexes, but not both at once. * No default. srchIndexesAllowed = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of indexes that this role is allowed to search. * Follows the same wildcarding semantics as the 'srchIndexesDefault' setting. * No default. srchIndexesDisallowed = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of indexes that this role does not have permission to search on or delete. * 'srchIndexesDisallowed' takes precedence over 'srchIndexesAllowed', 'srchIndexesDefault' and 'deleteIndexesAllowed'. If you specify indexes in both this setting and the other settings, users will be unable to search on or delete those indexes. * Follows the same wildcarding semantics as the 'srchIndexesDefault' setting. * If you make any changes in the "Indexes" Settings panel for a role in Splunk Web, those values take precedence, and any wildcards you specify in this setting are lost. * All search heads and search peers must be running Splunk Enterprise version 8.1.0 or higher. * No default. deleteIndexesAllowed = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of indexes that this role is allowed to delete. * This setting must be used in conjunction with the 'delete_by_keyword' capability. * Follows the same wildcarding semantics as the 'srchIndexesDefault' setting. * No default. cumulativeSrchJobsQuota = <integer> * The total number of historical searches that can run concurrently across all users who hold this role. * For this setting to take effect, you must give the 'enable_cumulative_quota' setting in the limits.conf file a value of "true". * If a user holds multiple roles, that user's searches count against the role with the largest cumulative search quota. Once the quota for that role is consumed, the user's searches count against the role with the next largest quota, and so on. * In search head clustering environments, this setting takes effect for each cluster member. There is no cluster-wide accounting. * A value of 0 means there is no limit to the number of historicl search jobs that can run concurrently across all users with this role. * Default: 50 cumulativeRTSrchJobsQuota = <integer> * The total number of real-time searches that can run concurrently across all users who hold this role. * For this setting to take effect, you must give the 'enable_cumulative_quota' setting in the limits.conf file a value of "true". * If a user holds multiple roles, that user's searches count against the role with the largest cumulative search quota. After the quota for that role is consumed, the user's searches count against the role with the next largest quota, and so on. * In search head clustering environments, this setting takes effect for each cluster member. There is no cluster-wide accounting. * A value of 0 means there is no limit to the number of real-time search jobs that can run concurrently across all users with this role. * Default: 0 kvstore_create.deny_list = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of collections that this role doesn't have permission to perform create operations on. * This setting can't be inherited from imported roles. * No Default kvstore_create.implicit_deny_list = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of collections that this role doesn't have permission to perform create operations on. * This setting can be inherited from imported roles. * No Default kvstore_update.deny_list = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of collections that this role doesn't have permission to perform update operations on. * This setting can't be inherited from imported roles. * No Default kvstore_update.implicit_deny_list = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of collections that this role doesn't have permission to perform update operations on. * This setting can be inherited from imported roles. * No Default kvstore_delete.deny_list = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of collections that this role doesn't have permission to perform delete operations on. * This setting can't be inherited from imported roles. * No Default kvstore_delete.implicit_deny_list = <semicolon-separated list> * A list of collections that this role doesn't have permission to perform delete operations on. * This setting can be inherited from imported roles. * No Default #### # Descriptions of Splunk system capabilities. # Capabilities are added to roles to which users are then assigned. # When a user is assigned a role, they acquire the capabilities added to that role. #### [tokens_auth] * Settings for token authorization. disabled = <boolean> * Whether or not Splunk token authorization is active. * A value of "true" disables token authentication, and a value of "false" enables it. * Default: false expiration = <relative-time-modifier>|never * The relative time when an authorization token expires. * The syntax for using time modifiers is: * [+]<time_integer><time_unit>@<time_unit> * Where time_integer is an integer value and time_unit is relative * time unit in seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h) or days (d) etc. * The steps to specify a relative time modifier are: * Indicate the time offset from the current time. * Define the time amount, which is a number and a unit. * Specify a "snap to" time unit. The time unit indicates the nearest or latest time to which your time amount rounds down. * For example, if you configure this setting to "+2h@h", the token expires at the top of the hour, two hours from the current time. * For more information on relative time identifiers, see "Time Modifiers" in the Splunk Enterprise Search Reference Manual. * The default value indicates that a token never expires. To set token expiration, you must set this value to a relative time value. * Your account must hold the admin role to update this setting. * This setting is optional. * Default: +30d ephemeralExpiration = <relative-time-modifier> * The relative time when an ephemeral authorization token expires. * An ephemeral token is identical to a standard authorization token, with the following exceptions: * The auth system does not keep the token in App Key Value Store. This means you cannot modify it after creating it. * Ephemeral tokens must always expire, meaning they cannot be given an expiration of "never". * Currently, ephemeral tokens can only be created using REST. * The syntax for using time modifiers is: * [+]<time_integer><time_unit>@<time_unit> * Where time_integer is an integer value and time_unit is relative * time unit in seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h) or days (d) etc. * The steps to specify a relative time modifier are: * Indicate the time offset from the current time. * Define the time amount, which is a number and a unit. * Specify a "snap to" time unit. The time unit indicates the nearest or latest time to which your time amount rounds down. * For example, if you configure this setting to "+2h@h", the token expires at the top of the hour, two hours from the current time. * For more information on relative time identifiers, see "Time Modifiers" in the Splunk Enterprise Search Reference Manual. * To set ephemeral token expiration, you must set this value to a relative time value. * Your account must hold the admin role to update this setting. * This setting is optional. * Maximum: +6h * Default: +1h [capability::accelerate_datamodel] * Lets a user enable or disable data model acceleration. [capability::accelerate_search] * Lets a user enable or disable acceleration for reports. * The assigned role must also be granted the 'schedule_search' capability. [capability::admin_all_objects] * Lets a user access all objects in the system, such as user objects and knowledge objects. * Lets a user bypass any Access Control List (ACL) restrictions, similar to the way root access in a *nix environment does. * the Splunk platform checks this capability when accessing manager pages and objects.
