Warning
Yandex Managed Service for Elasticsearch is unavailable as of April 11, 2024.
You can create an OpenSearch cluster in Yandex Cloud as an alternative to Elasticsearch.
You can manage cluster users as an admin user. You can specify a password for this user when creating or updating a cluster.
Interfaces available for user management:
- Security API Elasticsearch.
- Kibana. For more information about how to connect to Kibana, see Connecting to a cluster.
To perform routine tasks, create individual users with the minimum required set of privileges. 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.
To learn more about roles and privileges, see the Elasticsearch documentation.
