I'd like to grant my Power users access to change eventtypes, savedsearches, etc. from private to app-specific/global. It seems that that is only granted to admins?

You might want take a look at documentation for the authorize.conf

( http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/Authorizeconf ).

This document describes the capabilities assigned to the roles.

Hmm, the only thing I see in there that may address this is: capability::admin_all_objects - but apparently that's like giving root access?

Yea, I just noticed that as well. It looks like that capability gives the user the keys to the kingdom.Not such a good idea for a power user. But it kind of make sense , you are asking to changing permissions on objects the user does not own.

The ability to share objects into an app is controlled by the permissions on the app container.

To allow power users to share eventtypes (for example) into a particular app:

  • Go to Manager > Apps
  • Click on the Permissions link in the Sharing column of the desired app
  • Grant the power role write access to the app
