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/*
