Setting Up OpenSearch User Permissions for Username and Password Authentication

If you're using AWS OpenSearch in your Immuta installation, use this how-to to set up the proper permissions needed for username and password authentication.

1. In the AWS console, create an OpenSearch domain and create a master user. This user will set up the permissions for the audit user.

2. 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.

3. Create a role for the audit user.

4. Add the audit user to the role.

5. 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 all the following permissions.

   • immuta_cluster_permission_grp with the following permissions:

     • cluster:monitor/health

     • indices:data/write/bulk

     • indices:data/write/bulk*

     • indices:data/read/scroll

     • indices:data/read/scroll/clear

     • indices:monitor/settings/get

   • immuta_index_permission_grp with the following permissions for the * index:

     • indices:admin/exists

     • indices:admin/create

     • indices:admin/delete

     • indices:admin/settings/update

     • indices:admin/get

     • indices:admin/refresh

     • indices:admin/refresh*

     • indices:admin/mapping/put

     • indices:data/read/search

     • indices:data/read/scroll

     • indices:data/read/scroll/clear

     • indices:data/write/delete

     • indices:data/write/delete/byquery

     • indices:data/write/index

     • indices:data/write/bulk

     • indices:data/write/bulk*

     • indices:monitor/settings/get

6. 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 using the user's username and password.
