# Document-level security
|
|
|
|
Document-level security lets you restrict a role to a subset of documents in an index. The easiest way to get started with document- and field-level security is open OpenSearch Dashboards and choose **Security**. Then choose **Roles**, create a new role, and review the **Index permissions** section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Simple roles
|
|
|
|
Document-level security uses the OpenSearch query DSL to define which documents a role grants access to. In OpenSearch Dashboards, choose an index pattern and provide a query in the **Document level security** section:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"bool": {
|
|
"must": {
|
|
"match": {
|
|
"genres": "Comedy"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This query specifies that for the role to have access to a document, its `genres` field must include `Comedy`.
|
|
|
|
A typical request to the `_search` API includes `{ "query": { ... } }` around the query, but in this case, you only need to specify the query itself.
|
|
|
|
In the REST API, you provide the query as a string, so you must escape your quotes. This role allows a user to read any document in any index with the field `public` set to `true`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
PUT _plugins/_security/api/roles/public_data
|
|
{
|
|
"cluster_permissions": [
|
|
"*"
|
|
],
|
|
"index_permissions": [{
|
|
"index_patterns": [
|
|
"pub*"
|
|
],
|
|
"dls": "{\"term\": { \"public\": true}}",
|
|
"allowed_actions": [
|
|
"read"
|
|
]
|
|
}]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These queries can be as complex as you want, but we recommend keeping them simple to minimize the performance impact that the document-level security feature has on the cluster.

## Parameter substitution
|
|
|
|
A number of variables exist that you can use to enforce rules based on the properties of a user. For example, `${user.name}` is replaced with the name of the current user.
|
|
|
|
This rule allows a user to read any document where the username is a value of the `readable_by` field:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
PUT _plugins/_security/api/roles/user_data
|
|
{
|
|
"cluster_permissions": [
|
|
"*"
|
|
],
|
|
"index_permissions": [{
|
|
"index_patterns": [
|
|
"pub*"
|
|
],
|
|
"dls": "{\"term\": { \"readable_by\": \"${user.name}\"}}",
|
|
"allowed_actions": [
|
|
"read"
|
|
]
|
|
}]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This table lists substitutions.
|
|
|
|
Term | Replaced with
|
|
:--- | :---
|
|
`${user.name}` | Username.
|
|
`${user.roles}` | A comma-separated, quoted list of user roles.
|
|
`${attr.<TYPE>.<NAME>}` | An attribute with name `<NAME>` defined for a user. `<TYPE>` is `internal`, `jwt`, `proxy` or `ldap`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Attribute-based security
|
|
|
|
You can use roles and parameter substitution with the `terms_set` query to enable attribute-based security.
|
|
|
|
> Note that the `security_attributes` of the index need to be of type `keyword`.
|
|
|
|
#### User definition
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
PUT _plugins/_security/api/internalusers/user1
|
|
{
|
|
"password": "asdf",
|
|
"backend_roles": ["abac"],
|
|
"attributes": {
|
|
"permissions": "\"att1\", \"att2\", \"att3\""
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Role definition
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
PUT _plugins/_security/api/roles/abac
|
|
{
|
|
"index_permissions": [{
|
|
"index_patterns": [
|
|
"*"
|
|
],
|
|
"dls": "{\"terms_set\": {\"security_attributes\": {\"terms\": [${attr.internal.permissions}], \"minimum_should_match_script\": {\"source\": \"doc['security_attributes'].length\"}}}}",
|
|
"allowed_actions": [
|
|
"read"
|
|
]
|
|
}]
|
|
}
|
|
```
