See [Define roles on the Splunk platform with capabilities](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/Rolesandcapabilities) and [Connecting to MCP Server and Admin settings](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/mcp-server-for-splunk-platform/connecting-to-mcp-server-and-admin-settings) in the Splunk documentation for more information.
