OpenSearch User Management

OpenSearch User Management

One administrator user with the all_access role is automatically created for each cluster. The user with this role has full access to the cluster — for example, the right to write data to all indexes and tenants. The administrator can manage other OpenSearch cluster users through the OpenSearch dashboard and API. The list of OpenSearch operations that are available to the administrator can be found in the Supported Operations manual.

The administrator login is admin. The administrator password is set during cluster creation. After creation, the password cannot be viewed in the control panel, but can be changed.

For more information on managing users and roles, see Defining users and roles in the OpenSearch documentation.
