Managing OpenSearch users

You can manage cluster users as an admin user. You can specify a password for this user when creating or updating a cluster.

For information about how to manage users and what interfaces can be used for that, see the OpenSearch documentation.

To perform routine tasks, create individual users with the minimum required set of permissions. It's not recommended to use the admin account for these purposes, because it has full access to the cluster. Running an incorrect command under the admin account may cause the cluster to fail.
