Body Required

  • uids array[string] Required

    A list of profile IDs. The privileges are checked for associated users of the profiles.

  • privileges object Required

    Additional properties are allowed.

    Hide privileges attributes Show privileges attributes object
    • application array[object]
      Hide application attributes Show application attributes object
      • application string Required

        The name of the application.

      • privileges array[string] Required

        A list of the privileges that you want to check for the specified resources. May be either application privilege names, or the names of actions that are granted by those privileges

      • resources array[string] Required

        A list of resource names against which the privileges should be checked

    • cluster array[string]

      A list of the cluster privileges that you want to check.

    • index array[object]
      Hide index attributes Show index attributes object
      • names string | array[string] Required
      • privileges array[string] Required

        A list of the privileges that you want to check for the specified indices.

      • allow_restricted_indices boolean

        This needs to be set to true (default is false) if using wildcards or regexps for patterns that cover restricted indices. Implicitly, restricted indices do not match index patterns because restricted indices usually have limited privileges and including them in pattern tests would render most such tests false. If restricted indices are explicitly included in the names list, privileges will be checked against them regardless of the value of allow_restricted_indices.
