Mapping users and groups to roles
editMapping users and groups to roles
editRole mapping is supported by all realms except native
and file
.
The native and file realms assign roles directly to users. Native realms use user management APIs. File realms use File-based role management.
You can map roles through the Role mapping API (recommended) or a Role mapping file.
The PKI, LDAP, AD, Kerberos, OpenID Connect, JWT, and SAML realms support the Role mapping API. Only PKI, LDAP, and AD realms support Role mapping files.
The PKI, LDAP, AD, Kerberos, OpenID Connect, JWT, and SAML realms also support delegated authorization. You can either map roles for a realm or use delegated authorization; you cannot use both simultaneously.
To use role mapping, you create roles and role mapping rules. Role mapping rules can be based on realm name, realm type, username, groups, other user metadata, or combinations of those values.
When anonymous access is enabled, the roles of the anonymous user are assigned to all the other users as well.
If there are role-mapping rules created through the API as well as a role mapping file, the rules are combined. It’s possible for a single user to have some roles that were mapped through the API, and others assigned based on the role mapping file. You can define role-mappings via an API or manage them through files. These two sources of role-mapping are combined inside of the Elasticsearch security features, so it is possible for a single user to have some roles that have been mapped through the API, and other roles that are mapped through files.
Users with no roles assigned will be unauthorized for any action. In other words, they may be able to authenticate, but they will have no roles. No roles means no privileges, and no privileges means no authorizations to make requests.
When you use role mappings to assign roles to users, the roles must exist. There are two sources of roles. The available roles should either be added using the role management APIs or defined in the roles file. Either role-mapping method can use either role management method. For example, when you use the role mapping API, you are able to map users to both API-managed roles and file-managed roles (and likewise for file-based role-mappings).
Using the role mapping API
editYou can define role-mappings through the add role mapping API.
Using role mapping files
editTo use file based role-mappings, you must configure the mappings in a YAML file and copy it to each node in the cluster. Tools like Puppet or Chef can help with this.
By default, role mappings are stored in ES_PATH_CONF/role_mapping.yml
,
where ES_PATH_CONF
is ES_HOME/config
(zip/tar installations) or
/etc/elasticsearch
(package installations). To specify a different location,
you configure the files.role_mapping
setting in the
Active Directory,
LDAP, and
PKI realm settings in
elasticsearch.yml
.
Within the role mapping file, the security roles are keys and groups and users are values. The mappings can have a many-to-many relationship. When you map roles to groups, the roles of a user in that group are the combination of the roles assigned to that group and the roles assigned to that user.
By default, Elasticsearch checks role mapping files for changes every 5 seconds.
You can change this default behavior by changing the
resource.reload.interval.high
setting in the elasticsearch.yml
file. Since
this is a common setting in Elasticsearch, changing its value might effect other
schedules in the system.
While the role mapping APIs is the preferred way to manage role mappings, using
the role_mapping.yml
file becomes useful in a couple of use cases:
- If you want to define fixed role mappings that no one (besides an administrator with physical access to the Elasticsearch nodes) would be able to change.
- If cluster administration depends on users from external realms and these users need to have their roles mapped to them even when the cluster is RED. For instance an administrator that authenticates via LDAP or PKI and gets assigned an administrator role so that they can perform corrective actions.
Please note however, that the role_mapping.yml
file is provided
as a minimal administrative function and is not intended to cover and be used to
define roles for all use cases.
You cannot view, edit, or remove any roles that are defined in the role mapping files by using the role mapping APIs.
Realm specific details
editActive Directory and LDAP realms
editTo specify users and groups in the role mappings, you use their
Distinguished Names (DNs). A DN is a string that uniquely identifies the user
or group, for example "cn=John Doe,cn=contractors,dc=example,dc=com"
.
The Elasticsearch security features support only Active Directory security groups. You cannot map distribution groups to roles.
For example, the following snippet uses the file-based method to map the
admins
group to the monitoring
role and map the John Doe
user, the
users
group, and the admins
group to the user
role.
monitoring: - "cn=admins,dc=example,dc=com" user: - "cn=John Doe,cn=contractors,dc=example,dc=com" - "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com" - "cn=admins,dc=example,dc=com"
The name of a role. |
|
The distinguished name of an LDAP group or an Active Directory security group. |
|
The distinguished name of an LDAP or Active Directory user. |
You can use the role-mapping API to define equivalent mappings as follows:
resp = client.security.put_role_mapping( name="admins", roles=[ "monitoring", "user" ], rules={ "field": { "groups": "cn=admins,dc=example,dc=com" } }, enabled=True, ) print(resp)
const response = await client.security.putRoleMapping({ name: "admins", roles: ["monitoring", "user"], rules: { field: { groups: "cn=admins,dc=example,dc=com", }, }, enabled: true, }); console.log(response);
PUT /_security/role_mapping/admins { "roles" : [ "monitoring", "user" ], "rules" : { "field" : { "groups" : "cn=admins,dc=example,dc=com" } }, "enabled": true }
resp = client.security.put_role_mapping( name="basic_users", roles=[ "user" ], rules={ "any": [ { "field": { "dn": "cn=John Doe,cn=contractors,dc=example,dc=com" } }, { "field": { "groups": "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com" } } ] }, enabled=True, ) print(resp)
const response = await client.security.putRoleMapping({ name: "basic_users", roles: ["user"], rules: { any: [ { field: { dn: "cn=John Doe,cn=contractors,dc=example,dc=com", }, }, { field: { groups: "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com", }, }, ], }, enabled: true, }); console.log(response);
PUT /_security/role_mapping/basic_users { "roles" : [ "user" ], "rules" : { "any" : [ { "field" : { "dn" : "cn=John Doe,cn=contractors,dc=example,dc=com" } }, { "field" : { "groups" : "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com" } } ] }, "enabled": true }
PKI realms
editPKI realms support mapping users to roles, but you cannot map groups as the PKI realm has no notion of a group.
This is an example using a file-based mapping:
monitoring: - "cn=Admin,ou=example,o=com" user: - "cn=John Doe,ou=example,o=com"
The following example creates equivalent mappings using the API:
resp = client.security.put_role_mapping( name="admin_user", roles=[ "monitoring" ], rules={ "field": { "dn": "cn=Admin,ou=example,o=com" } }, enabled=True, ) print(resp)
const response = await client.security.putRoleMapping({ name: "admin_user", roles: ["monitoring"], rules: { field: { dn: "cn=Admin,ou=example,o=com", }, }, enabled: true, }); console.log(response);
PUT /_security/role_mapping/admin_user { "roles" : [ "monitoring" ], "rules" : { "field" : { "dn" : "cn=Admin,ou=example,o=com" } }, "enabled": true }
resp = client.security.put_role_mapping( name="basic_user", roles=[ "user" ], rules={ "field": { "dn": "cn=John Doe,ou=example,o=com" } }, enabled=True, ) print(resp)
const response = await client.security.putRoleMapping({ name: "basic_user", roles: ["user"], rules: { field: { dn: "cn=John Doe,ou=example,o=com", }, }, enabled: true, }); console.log(response);
PUT /_security/role_mapping/basic_user { "roles" : [ "user" ], "rules" : { "field" : { "dn" : "cn=John Doe,ou=example,o=com" } }, "enabled": true }
