Multicloud Elastic Search

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;
