Explanation
Power users and administrators are granted the privilege to create global knowledge objects because their elevated roles come with permissions to share resources across the entire organization, not just their own private workspace. In platforms like Splunk, global knowledge objects (such as saved searches, field extractions, or lookups) must be accessible to all users, requiring a trust level that only power users and admins possess.
Regular users (A) are incorrect because their permissions are typically scoped to private or app-level objects only - they lack the access level needed to publish resources globally and affect other users' environments.
Memory tip: Think of it as a "publishing license" - just as only editors and publishers can release content to the public (not every reader), only power users and administrators hold the keys to the global knowledge library. If you can remember that "global = shared responsibility = elevated role," you'll always rule out basic users.
