[[security-privileges]] === Security Privileges This section lists the privileges that you can assign to a role. [[privileges-list-cluster]] ==== Cluster Privileges [horizontal] `all`:: All cluster administration operations, like snapshotting, node shutdown/restart, settings update, rerouting, or managing users and roles. `monitor`:: All cluster read-only operations, like cluster health and state, hot threads, node info, node and cluster stats, and pending cluster tasks. `monitor_ml`:: All read only {ml} operations, such as getting information about {dfeeds}, jobs, model snapshots, or results. `monitor_watcher`:: All read only watcher operations, such as getting a watch and watcher stats. `manage`:: Builds on `monitor` and adds cluster operations that change values in the cluster. This includes snapshotting, updating settings, and rerouting. It also includes obtaining snapshot and restore status. This privilege does not include the ability to manage security. `manage_index_templates`:: All operations on index templates. `manage_ml`:: All {ml} operations, such as creating and deleting {dfeeds}, jobs, and model snapshots. + -- NOTE: {dfeeds-cap} that were created prior to version 6.2 or created when {security} was disabled run as a system user with elevated privileges, including permission to read all indices. Newer {dfeeds} run with the security roles of the user who created or updated them. -- `manage_pipeline`:: All operations on ingest pipelines. `manage_security`:: All security related operations such as CRUD operations on users and roles and cache clearing. `manage_watcher`:: All watcher operations, such as putting watches, executing, activate or acknowledging. + -- NOTE: Watches that were created prior to version 6.1 or created when {security} was disabled run as a system user with elevated privileges, including permission to read and write all indices. Newer watches run with the security roles of the user who created or updated them. -- `transport_client`:: All privileges necessary for a transport client to connect. Required by the remote cluster to enable <>. [[privileges-list-indices]] ==== Indices Privileges [horizontal] `all`:: Any action on an index `monitor`:: All actions that are required for monitoring (recovery, segments info, index stats and status). `manage`:: All `monitor` privileges plus index administration (aliases, analyze, cache clear, close, delete, exists, flush, mapping, open, force merge, refresh, settings, search shards, templates, validate). `view_index_metadata`:: Read-only access to index metadata (aliases, aliases exists, get index, exists, field mappings, mappings, search shards, type exists, validate, warmers, settings). This privilege is primarily available for use by {kib} users. `read`:: Read only access to actions (count, explain, get, mget, get indexed scripts, more like this, multi percolate/search/termvector, percolate, scroll, clear_scroll, search, suggest, tv). `read_cross_cluster`:: Read only access to the search action from a <>. `index`:: Privilege to index and update documents. Also grants access to the update mapping action. `create`:: Privilege to index documents. Also grants access to the update mapping action. + -- NOTE: This privilege does not restrict the index operation to the creation of documents but instead restricts API use to the index API. The index API allows a user to overwrite a previously indexed document. -- `delete`:: Privilege to delete documents. `write`:: Privilege to perform all write operations to documents, which includes the permission to index, update, and delete documents as well as performing bulk operations. Also grants access to the update mapping action. `delete_index`:: Privilege to delete an index. `create_index`:: Privilege to create an index. A create index request may contain aliases to be added to the index once created. In that case the request requires the `manage` privilege as well, on both the index and the aliases names. ==== Run As Privilege The `run_as` permission enables an authenticated user to submit requests on behalf of another user. The value can be a user name or a comma-separated list of user names. (You can also specify users as an array of strings or a YAML sequence.) For more information, see <>.
