Say I use deployment server to deploy an App (with user interface) to a search head, and a user uses it, creates a search, and promotes it to App level to share with others.

Does this search, now in the App folder for the deployment server-managed App, soon disappear because it makes the App folder have a different checksum than on the deployment server, thus downloading and reinstalling the App (and possibly rebooting the Search Head)?

Something tells me any App deployed to a search head should not allow object promotion into it, unless Splunk handles this magically somehow.

One Answer:

Correct, if a deployment server managed app is changed (by promotion, or by changing permissions, or anything) it will be reverted back to the original DS managed version. probably it makes sense to make sure that no-one can create items in DS managed apps, perhaps by putting into metadata/local.meta of the app:

[]
access = write : [] , read : [ * ]

for example.
