Capabilities needed for a service account to enable Maintenance Mode and issue offline command

I have been researching the docs here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.3/Security/Rolesandcapabilities

There isn't a good mapping of what I am trying to accomplish here in the docs. We are trying to automate some routine maintenance and also enable our hardware teams to replace disks as they fail without requiring scheduling with our team - outside of approvals and verifications. Can someone assist me in identifying the minimum capabilities needed for this service account I have created (LDAP) to be able to perform the following:

Enable Maintenance Mode
Disable Maintenance Mode
Rebalance Primaries
Rebalance _raw data
Splunk offline

I have not listed splunk stop/start because those commands do not require authentication from the CLI.

For "splunk offline" you'll need to give the account a role with the capability "edit_indexer_cluster". It may work for some of those others.
