If you use a wildcard `*` while adding a policy to an index, the ISM plugin interprets `*` as all indices, including system indices like `.opendistro-security`, which stores users, roles, and tenants. A delete action in your policy might accidentally delete all user roles and tenants in your cluster.
Don't use the broad `*` wildcard, and instead add a prefix, such as `my-logs*`, when specifying indices with the `_ism/add` API.
