Does the role "user" have WRITE permissions in the search app by default?

  1. Yes, it has WRITE permissions

  2. No, it does not

  3. It has limited WRITE permissions

  4. Only under certain conditions

The correct answer is: No, it does not

The role "user" in Splunk is designed to provide capabilities that are necessary for running searches and viewing results without allowing excessive privileges that could compromise data integrity or system stability. By default, the "user" role does not possess WRITE permissions in the search app. This restriction ensures that users can efficiently conduct searches and access needed information without the risk of inadvertently modifying or deleting critical data or configurations. This default setting is crucial for maintaining a secure and orderly environment, particularly in larger organizations where multiple users may have access to sensitive information. This architectural decision ensures that only roles specifically designated with WRITE permissions can alter data or settings, thus preserving the integrity of the search app and the broader Splunk environment.
