When a user creates a Knowledge Object, what is its default sharing setting?

When a user creates a Knowledge Object in Splunk, its default sharing setting is private. This means that initially, the Knowledge Object is accessible only to the user who created it. The private setting is important because it allows users to create and test their Knowledge Objects without exposing them to others until they are ready to share.

Once the user is confident in the Knowledge Object and wishes to collaborate or make it available to others, they can change the sharing settings to one of the broader options, such as shared in the app, shared with all users, or shared to all apps. This tiered approach to sharing helps maintain data security and user control over what information is disseminated within an organization.

By making the default setting private, Splunk encourages responsible data management and allows for individual experimentation and adjustments before wider distribution.
