You can use `whitelist.yml` to whitelist any endpoints and associated HTTP requests. If enabled, all users except the SuperAdmin are allowed access to only the specified endpoints and HTTP requests, and all other HTTP requests associated with the endpoint are not allowed. For example, if `_cluster/settings` is whitelisted with the GET operation, users are not allowed to submit PUT requests to `_cluster/settings` to update cluster settings.

Note that while you can configure access to endpoints this way, for most cases, it is still best to configure permissions using the security plugin's users and roles, which have more granular settings.
