=== Built-in Roles
{security} applies a default role to all users, including <<anonymous-access, anonymous users>>. The default role enables users to access the authenticate
endpoint, change their own passwords, and get information about themselves.
{security} applies a default role to all users, including
<<anonymous-access, anonymous users>>. The default role enables users to access
the authenticate endpoint, change their own passwords, and get information about
themselves.
{security} also provides a set of built-in roles you can explicitly assign
to users. These roles have a fixed set of privileges and cannot be updated.
[[built-in-roles-superuser]]
`superuser`::
Grants full access to the cluster, including all indices and data. A user with
the `superuser` role can also manage users and roles and <<run-as-privilege, impersonate>> any other user in the system. Due to the permissive nature of
this role, take extra care when assigning it to a user.
[[built-in-roles-transport-client]]
`transport_client`::
Grants the privileges required to access the cluster through the Java Transport Client. The Java Transport Client fetches information about the nodes in the
cluster using the _Node Liveness API_ and the _Cluster State API_ (when
sniffing is enabled). Assign your users this role if they use the
Transport Client.
+
NOTE: Using the Transport Client effectively means the users are granted access
to the cluster state. This means users can view the metadata over all indices,
index templates, mappings, node and basically everything about the cluster.
However, this role does not grant permission to view the data in all indices.
[[built-in-roles-kibana-user]]
`kibana_user` ::
Grants the minimum privileges required for any user of Kibana. This role grants
access to the Kibana indices and grants monitoring privileges for the cluster.
[[built-in-roles-monitoring-user]]
`monitoring_user` ::
Grants the minimum privileges required for any user of Monitoring other than those
required to use Kibana. This role grants access to the monitoring indices. Monitoring
users should also be assigned the `kibana_user` role.
[[built-in-roles-reporting-user]]
`reporting_user` ::
Grants the specific privileges required for users of Reporting other than those
required to use Kibana. This role grants access to the reporting indices. Reporting
users should also be assigned the `kibana_user` role and a role that grants them
access to the data that will be used to generate reports with.
[[built-in-roles-remote-monitoring-agent]]
`remote_monitoring_agent` ::
Grants the minimum privileges required for a remote monitoring agent to write data
into this cluster.
