A Splunk Cloud administrator is looking to allow a new group of Splunk users in the marketing department to access the Splunk environment and view a dashboard with relevant data.

Which approach would be the best way to accomplish these requirements?

• A. Create a new user with access to the marketing_data index assigned.
• B. Create a new role that inherits the admin rote and assign access to the marketing_dat.a index.
• C. Create a new role that inherits the user role and remove the capability to search indexes other than marketing_data.
• D. Create a new role that does not inherit from any other role, turn on the same capabilities as the user role, and assign access to the marketing_data index.
