What happens when a user does not have the proper role to create Knowledge Objects?

When a user lacks the proper role to create Knowledge Objects in Splunk, the system is designed to enforce access controls rigorously. This means that any attempt to create Knowledge Objects will result in an error message indicating that the user does not possess the necessary permissions.

In Splunk, roles and permissions are crucial components that govern what actions users can perform. Each role is associated with specific capabilities, and if a user tries to perform an operation that exceeds those capabilities, the platform prevents the action from taking place and communicates this issue through an error message. This ensures that users do not inadvertently modify or create objects that they are not authorized to handle, thereby maintaining the integrity and security of the data and application.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect how permissions are managed in Splunk. There is no scenario where the action would succeed in the absence of the proper role, nor would any knowledge objects be created privately without proper authorization. Moreover, having a role that allows the creation of shared objects is not possible without the proper permissions in the first place, thus reinforcing the importance of adhering to established permission protocols.
