# Default action groups

This page catalogs all default action groups. Often, the most coherent way to create new action groups is to use a combination of these default groups and [individual permissions](../permissions).


## General

Name | Description
:--- | :---
unlimited | Grants complete access. Can be used on an cluster- or index-level. Equates to `"*"`.
{% comment %}kibana_all_read | asdf
kibana_all_write | asdf{% endcomment %}



## Cluster-level

Name | Description
:---| :---
cluster_all | Grants all cluster permissions. Equates to `cluster:*`.
cluster_monitor | Grants all cluster monitoring permissions. Equates to `cluster:monitor/*`.
cluster_composite_ops_ro | Grants read-only permissions to execute requests like `mget`, `msearch`, or `mtv`, plus permissions to query for aliases.
cluster_composite_ops | Same as `CLUSTER_COMPOSITE_OPS_RO`, but also grants `bulk` permissions and all aliases permissions.
manage_snapshots | Grants permissions to manage snapshots and repositories.
cluster_manage_pipelines | Grants permissions to manage ingest pipelines.
cluster_manage_index_templates | Grants permissions to manage index templates.


## Index-level

create_index | Grants permissions to create indices and mappings.
indices_monitor | Grants permissions to execute all index monitoring actions (e.g. recovery, segments info, index stats, and status).
