Summary
User does not have permissions,because the 3.0.0 settings load needed
list_settingsandlist_storage_passwords. The alertaction now reads its settings through a REST handler that runs as
splunk-system-user, gated bya new
read_slack_alerts_credentialcapability.slack_alert_actionrole, and a log line for every credential read.Closes #68
Upgrade impact
adminandsc_adminneedread_slack_alerts_credential, grantedthrough a role they hold or the shipped
slack_alert_actionrole. Without it, alerts fail withexit code 7.
