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 .
General Action group Description Permissions unlimited Grants complete access to action groups. Can be used on an cluster- or index- level. Equates to “*”. *
Cluster-level Action group Description Permissions cluster_all Grants all cluster permissions. Equates to cluster:*. cluster:* cluster_monitor Grants all cluster monitoring permissions. Equates to cluster:monitor/*. cluster:monitor/* cluster_composite_ops_ro Grants read-only permissions to execute requests like mget, msearch, or mtv, as well as permissions to query for aliases. indices:data/read/mget indices:data/read/msearch indices:data/read/mtv indices:admin/aliases/exists* indices:admin/aliases/get* indices:data/read/scroll indices:admin/resolve/index cluster_composite_ops Same as CLUSTER_COMPOSITE_OPS_RO, but also grants bulk permissions and all aliases permissions. indices:data/write/bulk indices:admin/aliases* indices:data/write/reindex indices:data/read/mget indices:data/read/msearch indices:data/read/mtv indices:admin/aliases/exists* indices:admin/aliases/get* indices:data/read/scroll indices:admin/resolve/index manage_snapshots Grants permissions to manage snapshots and repositories. cluster:admin/snapshot/* cluster:admin/repository/* cluster_manage_pipelines Grants permissions to manage ingest pipelines. cluster:admin/ingest/pipeline/* cluster_manage_index_templates Grants permissions to manage index templates. indices:admin/template/* indices:admin/index_template/* cluster:admin/component_template/*
Index-level Action group Description Permissions indices_all Grants all permissions on the index. Equates to indices:*. indices:* get Grants permissions to use get and mget actions. indices:data/read/get* indices:data/read/mget* read Grants read permissions on the index such as search, get field mappings, get, and mget. indices:data/read* indices:admin/mappings/fields/get* indices:admin/resolve/index write Grants permissions to create and update documents within existing indexes. indices:data/write* indices:admin/mapping/put delete Grants permissions to delete documents. indices:data/write/delete* crud Combines the read, write, and delete action groups. Included in the data_access action group. indices:data/read* indices:admin/mappings/fields/get* indices:admin/resolve/index indices:data/write* indices:admin/mapping/put search Grants permissions to search documents, including the Suggest API. indices:data/read/search* indices:data/read/msearch* indices:admin/resolve/index indices:data/read/suggest* suggest Grants permissions to use the Suggest API. Included in the read action group. indices:data/read/suggest* create_index Grants permissions to create indexes and mappings. indices:admin/create indices:admin/mapping/put indices_monitor Grants permissions to run all index monitoring actions, such as recovery, segments_info, index_stats, and status). indices:monitor/* index A more limited version of the write action group. indices:data/write/index* indices:data/write/update* indices:admin/mapping/put indices:data/write/bulk* data_access Combines the CRUD action group with indices:data/*. indices:data/* indices:data/read* indices:admin/mappings/fields/get* indices:admin/resolve/index indices:data/write* indices:admin/mapping/put manage_aliases Grants permissions to manage aliases. indices:admin/aliases* manage Grants all monitoring and administration permissions for indexes. indices:monitor/* indices:admin/*
