How does it help?
These are the main benefits of fine - grained access control in Elastic search:
- resource - level permissions:
- fine-grained access control allows you to specify permissions at the level of indices, documents, and fields;
- this ensures that users or applications only have access to the specific data they need;
- role - based access control:
- you can define roles that specify permissions for various actions such as read, write, and manage on specific resources;
- users can be assigned roles based on their job functions or responsibilities, making it easier to manage permissions across large teams;
- document and field level security:
- Elastic search allows you to control access at the document and field level, ensuring that sensitive data is protected even within the same index;
- this level of control helps you comply with data privacy and protection regulations;
- API key management:
- fine - grained access control can work with API keys to provide secure and manageable access to Elastic search resources;
- API keys can be created with specific roles and permissions, making it easier to manage access for external applications and services;
- audit logging:
- Elastic search's fine-grained access control supports audit logging, allowing you to monitor access and changes to data and resources;
- audit logs can help you identify security issues and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements;
- tenant Isolation:
- with multi - tenancy support, fine - grained access control allows you to create isolated environments within a single Elastic search cluster;
- this is useful for SaaS providers or organizations with multiple departments or teams using the same cluster;
- Kibana integration:
- Elastic search fine - grained access control integrates with Kibana, the visualization and management tool for Elastic search, to provide secure and tailored experiences for different users;
- users can be granted access to specific Kibana features and visualizations based on their roles;
