1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a request from a user to interact with an indexed data store associated with a project, the indexed data store storing a set of events for the project, wherein the project controls access to the indexed data store using one or more roles, and wherein at least some events in the set of events comprise a portion of raw machine data associated with a timestamp;
determining, from the one or more roles, a role for the user with respect to the project, wherein the role provides a set of permissions to the user for interacting with the set of events stored in the indexed data store;
determining, based on the set of permissions provided by the role, a set of operations that the user has permission to perform on the set of events stored in the indexed data store; and
allowing the user to perform an operation included in the set of operations, wherein the operation is performed on one or more events of the set of events stored in the indexed data store.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards a system and method for a cloud-based front end that may abstract and enable access to the underlying cloud-hosted elements and objects that may be part of a multi-tenant application, such as a search application. Search objects may be employed to access indexed objects. An amount of indexed data accessible to a user may be based on an index storage limit selected by the user, such that data that exceeds the index storage limit may continue to be indexed. Also, one or more projects can be elastically scaled for a user to provide resources that may meet the specific needs of each project.

10. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
receiving a request from a user to interact with an indexed data store associated with a project, the indexed data store storing a set of events for the project, wherein the project controls access to the indexed data store using one or more roles, and wherein at least some events in the set of events comprise a portion of raw machine data associated with a timestamp; determining, from the one or more roles, a role for the user with respect to the project, wherein the role provides a set of permissions to the user for interacting with the set of events stored in the indexed data store; determining, based on the set of permissions provided by the role, a set of operations that the user has permission to perform on the set of events stored in the indexed data store; and allowing the user to perform an operation included in the set of operations, wherein the operation is performed on one or more events of the set of events stored in the indexed data store. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer system, comprising:
-
a memory that includes instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory and, when executing the instructions, is configured to perform the steps of; receiving a request from a user to interact with an indexed data store associated with a project, wherein the indexed data store storing a set of events for the project, wherein the project controls access to the indexed data store using one or more roles, and wherein at least some events in the set of events comprise a portion of raw machine data associated with a timestamp; determining, from the one or more roles, a role for the user with respect to the project, wherein the role provides a set of permissions to the user for interacting with the set of events stored in the indexed data store; determining, based on the set of permissions provided by the role, a set of operations that the user has permission to perform on the set of events stored the indexed data store; and allowing the user to perform an operation included in the set of operations, wherein the operation is performed on one or more events of the set of events stored in the indexed data store. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
