Explanation

When creating a native (local) Splunk user, only two fields are strictly required: a Username (B) to uniquely identify the user and a Password (A) for authentication. Full Name (C) and Default App (D) are optional fields - they can be set but are not mandatory for account creation. This distinguishes native Splunk users from LDAP or SAML users, where credentials are managed externally.
