Splunk Search

Which permission do I need to share sourcetype with users?

Hey everyone and I hope your having a great day!

I have configured a custom field extraction in the Splunk search app for my sourcetype but I don't have the possibility to share them with other users like I can do with another Splunk instance where I have the role Power (With Power role, I can share it no problem).

I don't want to assign myself the Power role since it's broad and wouldn't follow the rule of least privilege. For this reason which permission would I need to assign myself in order to be able to share my data extraction with other users?
