How to create an admin-read-only role?

Glasses

I have an admin-in-training, that requires access to see everything but NO access to change anything.

I am on version 7.3.3.

Is there a way to create an Admin-read-only role?

If not, any best practices (in splunk enterprise) to audit a user with admin-role, is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

I'd start by creating a role that has all of the list* capabilities of an Admin and the edit* capabilities of a Power User. There may be some read accesses blocked by a missing edit capability, but there's not much that can be done about that.

Unfortunately your suggestions work for only a limited number of items.

For instance, I was not able to give the  read-only role access to the "access control" settings nor limit app management for the read-only role, the role had full power to disable, etc.

Therefor we will need to audit the confs and give the user full admin.

However, I will accept your answer as it partially worked.

 

Thank you
