What is the purpose of assigning capabilities to a role in Splunk?

To define the authentication method for users assigned to the role.

To control which actions users with that role can perform, such as running searches or creating dashboards.

To specify which indexes the role can search.

To set the maximum number of concurrent searches a user can run.

A Splunk Cloud admin is creating a role for a group of interns. The interns should be able to run searches on the `training` index and create their own saved searches, but they should NOT be able to edit saved searches created by others. The admin creates a new role. Which capabilities should the admin assign?

`search` and `edit_search_savedsearch`

`search` and `view_search_savedsearch`

`search` and `delete_search_savedsearch`

`search` and `edit_own_search_savedsearch`

A Splunk Cloud admin is creating a role for a compliance officer who needs to run searches on all indexes and export results, but must NOT be able to edit any knowledge objects or manage users. The admin is considering which capabilities to assign. Which capability set should the admin assign?

`search`, `export_results`, and `edit_search_savedsearch`

`search`, `export_results`, and `admin_all_objects`

A Splunk Cloud admin has a role `base_user` with the `search` capability. The admin creates a new role `advanced_user` that inherits from `base_user` and adds the `edit_dashboard` capability. Later, the admin removes the `search` capability from `base_user`. What is the effect on `advanced_user`?

`advanced_user` keeps the `search` capability because it was copied at creation time.

`advanced_user` loses the `search` capability because it inherits capabilities from `base_user`.

`advanced_user` is automatically deleted because its parent role is modified.

`advanced_user` loses all capabilities because the parent role no longer has any.
