Splunk Fundamentals 1 Practice Exam

True or False: The User role can create reports.

1. True

2. False

3. Only with special permissions

4. Only for specific data sources

The correct answer is: False

The statement that the User role can create reports is false. In Splunk, the default User role typically does not possess the necessary permissions to create reports. Instead, the ability to create reports is generally reserved for roles with higher privileges, such as the Power User or Admin roles. These roles have broader capabilities, including report management, creating dashboards, and modifying data inputs. While it's true that a User might be able to view or share reports created by others, they lack the permissions required to generate reports independently. In this case, roles in Splunk are designed with different levels of access and capabilities, ensuring that users only perform actions that align with their responsibilities. Therefore, the role of User does not include the ability to create reports on its own.
