Set access controls for workload management

To view, create, and use workload pools and workload rules, a user's role must have the appropriate capabilities.

The following capabilities are enabled for the admin role by default:

Capability	Permissions granted to role
list_workload_pools	List and view workload pools and workload categories.
list_workload_rules	List and view workload rules.
list_workload_policy	View enabled status of admission rules.
edit_workload_pools	Create and edit workload pools and edit workload categories.
edit_workload_rules	Create and edit workload rules.
edit_workload_policy	Enable or disable admission rules.
select_workload_pools	Assign scheduled and ad hoc searches to a workload pool.

The admin role can add the above capabilities to other roles to grant the specified permissions. For example, to allow a power user to assign search jobs to a workload pool, the admin can add the select_workload_pools capability to the power user role.

To add a capability to a role in Splunk Web, see Add and edit roles with Splunk Web.
