New "role" cannot be added to any users due to "is not grantable"; how to make roles "grantable"?

I am adding a new role to allow analysts to access the `Monitoring Console`. I believe that the minimum set of `capabilities` for this to be these: [role_moncon_user] # ==== Capabilities ==== dispatch_rest_to_indexers = enabled list_accelerate_search = enabled list_app_certs = enabled list_deployment_client = enabled list_deployment_server = enabled list_forwarders = enabled list_health = enabled list_httpauths = enabled list_indexer_cluster = enabled list_indexerdiscovery = enabled list_inputs = enabled list_introspection = enabled list_metrics_catalog = enabled list_pipeline_sets = enabled list_search_head_clustering = enabled list_search_scheduler = enabled list_settings = enabled list_storage_passwords = enabled list_tokens_all = enabled list_tokens_own = enabled list_workload_pools = enabled list_workload_rules = enabled # ==== Index Values ==== srchIndexesAllowed = *;_* I added this to `authorize.conf` file in the `client_all_search_base` app and restarted Splunk; so far, so good. However when I try to assign this `moncon_user` role to anybody, after clicking `Save` it fails with `Role=moncon_user is not grantable`. I figured that I would be able to brute-force it in by manually adding it to a user in the `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd` file but all that did was cause splunk to disable that user completely (it doesn't even show in the GUI at all after that). What is really happening and how can I get this to work?
