Setting Up OpenSearch User Pemissions
On Immuta 2024.2 LTS and newer, users should deploy and manage their own Elasticsearch or AWS OpenSearch for audit. For users utilizing AWS OpenSearch, use this how-to to set up the proper permissions needed for the install.
In the AWS console, create an OpenSearch domain and create a master user: This user will set up the permissions for the audit user.
In the OpenSearch console, create a new user: This user will be the audit user. You will enter the username and password for this user when installing Immuta.
Create a role for the audit user.
Add the audit user to the role.
Create the two additional roles to hold the following permission groups: Immuta recommends permission groups for a smooth configuration, but just ensure the user has the all the following permissions.
immuta_cluster_permission_grp with the following permissions:
cluster:monitor/health
indices:data/write/bulk*
indices:data/write/bulk
immuta_index_permission_grp with the following permissions:
indices:data/read/search
indices:admin/exists
indices:admin/create
indices:admin/delete
indices:admin/settings/update
indices:admin/get
indices:data/write/delete/byquery
indices:data/write/index
indices:admin/mapping/put
indices:data/write/bulk
indices:data/write/bulk*
Add the additional roles with the permission to the audit user's role.
After these steps are complete, your audit user should have the required permissions and you can complete the Immuta install like normal.
