How would I design a role that only gives the ability to create (and search) indexes?

I was looking at the list of capabilities and it was not clear to me which would grant the ability to create new indexes. Could someone help me with this?

You can add the "indexes_edit" capability to the role. This will allow a user to create and edit indexes.

See somesoni2's comment above.

Evidently "admin_all_objects" is the only capability that enables index creation

you would need "admin_all_objects" capability to the role/user in order to be able to create indexes.

Does silence mean it is not possible? Can someone ring in please.
