Customized permissions for creating users only?

Hello,

I want to delegate the user creation to the service desk team. but I dont want to give them full admin permissions, so is there a way to create customized permissions/roles considering the following
1- Not accessing anything but the access control page.
2- Will not be able to create admin users, only other permissions

Thanks in advance!

Nope, not possible. Many things in Splunk such as the ability to create users comes back to the admin_all_objects capability, which is tantamount to making the user an admin. Unfortunately, it is not possible to decouple things like user creation from general administration.
