Which component of Splunk manages user roles and permissions?

The component of Splunk that manages user roles and permissions is Splunk Manager. This interface provides the necessary tools for administrators to configure and manage user roles, access controls, and permissions for different users and groups within Splunk.

Through Splunk Manager, administrators can define what each role can see and do within the Splunk environment, including access to apps, data inputs, and dashboards. This centralizes the management of user permissions and enhances security by ensuring that users only have access to the data and functionalities necessary for their roles.

The other components mentioned do not specifically focus on managing user roles and permissions. For example, Splunk Web is primarily the user interface for accessing Splunk's functionalities, and while it can display user-related data, it doesn't specifically handle role management. Data inputs pertain to how data is ingested into Splunk, and although important for data management, they do not deal with user roles or permissions. The Search Head is responsible for managing search queries and user requests but does not fulfill the role management function that Splunk Manager does.
