How to give a user or team access only to a specific index in OpenSearch

To grant Index Level access to users of your Stack you first need to create a team and configure the required OpenSearch Custom Role. This is a special role that gives you the flexibility to manage the users within this team by choosing from any available Security Roles for your Stack.

Based on your permissions you can view your teams via Account Settings > Teams. From here you can view existing and add new teams to your account.

Adding an OpenSearch Custom Role Team

All Logit.io accounts have a number of predefined teams that you can use to manage common scenarios, in this case, we want to add a new team, so choose 'Create a new team'.

Give the team a suitable name e.g. My Custom Index Only Team. Under "Stack Only Permission Roles" choose Manage Roles for the required Stack.

Select the "OpenSearch Custom Role" checkbox and choose the roles that you want this Custom Role to have.

Under Team Members and Access Permissions, you can choose which team members belong to this team.

Team members added to an OpenSearch Custom Role team here will automatically be added to the relevant role in OpenSearch Security as shown below.

In addition, if you would like to manage permissions for users directly in OpenSearch Security we also give you the flexibility to do this, see how to manage permissions directly using OpenSearch Security.
