Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin Practice Test

Which permission allows a user to modify Knowledge Objects in an app?

1. Read permission

2. Write permission

3. Execute permission

4. Admin permission

The correct answer is: Write permission

The permission that allows a user to modify Knowledge Objects in an app is the Write permission. This permission provides the necessary access to create, update, and delete various Knowledge Objects such as saved searches, event types, tags, and fields within the Splunk environment. Knowledge Objects are essential components of Splunk as they enhance data discovery and usability. To facilitate effective management of these objects, Write permission is designated specifically for users who need to alter existing objects or create new ones, ensuring they can manage the data's structure and organization according to the organization's needs. While Read permission allows users to view Knowledge Objects, it does not permit any modifications. Execute permission generally pertains to the ability to run saved searches or scripts, and Admin permission encompasses broader administrative tasks but may not always grant specific permissions related to modifying Knowledge Objects. Consequently, Write permission specifically aligns with the task of altering Knowledge Objects in an app.
