Enable users API

Enables users in the native realm.

PUT /_security/user/<username>/_enable

To use this API, you must have at least the manage_security cluster privilege.

By default, when you create users, they are enabled. You can use this enable users API and the disable users API to change that attribute.

For more information about the native realm, see Realms and Native user authentication.

The following example enables the user jacknich:

resp = client.security.enable_user(
    username="jacknich",
)
print(resp)

const response = await client.security.enableUser({
  username: "jacknich",
});
console.log(response);

PUT /_security/user/jacknich/_enable
