A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An administrator opens the Job Management page in Splunk Web. Whose search jobs does Splunk say a role with Admin capabilities can manage there?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
A job belongs to whoever ran it, so managing somebody else's is an administrative act. Separating the two cases is what lets a busy deployment be tidied up without every user losing control of their own work.
Why A
Splunk states that if you have the Admin role, or a role with an equivalent set of capabilities, you can manage the search jobs run by all users of your Splunk implementation.
