OpenSearch Dashboards requires that you add all HTTP headers to the allow list so that the headers pass to OpenSearch. Multi-tenancy uses a specific header, securitytenant , that must be present with the standard Authorization header. If the securitytenant header is not on the allow list, OpenSearch Dashboards starts with a red status. |

opensearch_security.multitenancy.tenants.enable_global |
Enables or disables the global tenant. Default is true . |

opensearch_security.multitenancy.enable_filter |
If you have many tenants, you can add a search bar to the top of the list. Default is false . |

.
- Read-write (
kibana_all_write
) permissions let the role view and modify objects in the tenant. - Read-only (
kibana_all_read
) permissions let the role view objects, but not modify them.

Manage OpenSearch Dashboards indices
The open source version of OpenSearch Dashboards saves all objects to a single index: .kibana
. The security plugin uses this index for the global tenant, but separate indices for every other tenant. Each user also has a private tenant, so you might see a large number of indices that follow two patterns:
.kibana_<hash>_<tenant_name>
.kibana_<hash>_<username>
The security plugin scrubs these index names of special characters, so they might not be a perfect match of tenant names and usernames. {: .tip }
To back up your OpenSearch Dashboards data, take a snapshot of all tenant indexes using an index pattern such as .kibana*
.
