DELETE /_security/privilege/<application>/<privilege>

Prerequisites

To use this API, you must have either:

the manage_security cluster privilege (or a greater privilege such as all); or
the "Manage Application Privileges" global privilege for the application being referenced in the request

Path parameters

application: (Required, string) The name of the application. Application privileges are always associated with exactly one application.
privilege: (Required, string) The name of the privilege.

Examples

edit

The following example deletes the read application privilege from the myapp application:

resp = client.security.delete_privileges(
    application="myapp",
    name="read",
)
print(resp)

const response = await client.security.deletePrivileges({
  application: "myapp",
  name: "read",
});
console.log(response);

DELETE /_security/privilege/myapp/read

If the privilege is successfully deleted, the request returns {"found": true}. Otherwise, found is set to false.

{
  "myapp": {
    "read": {
      "found" : true
    }
  }
}
