In Splunk Cloud, role-based access controls are managed by mapping LDAP groups to Splunk roles. Therefore, any change in roles should be managed by the LDAP administrator, who can adjust Mia's group to an LDAP group mapped to the power role.

Wait, can you really just create a new role like in C)?

B) sounds risky, users shouldn't change roles themselves.

A) is the right move, just update the LDAP group.

D sounds familiar, but I can't remember if the Cloud Monitoring Console is actually used for role mapping. I feel like it’s more for monitoring than user management.

I recall something about creating roles in Splunk, but I’m not confident if C is the right choice here. It seems like it could work, but I feel like it might not be the standard method.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where we had to update user roles directly in Splunk. That makes me think B could be an option, but it feels risky.

I think the answer might be A, since it involves working with the LDAP administrator to adjust group mappings, which seems to be the right approach for role changes.
