Configure permissions - Amazon OpenSearch Service

If you're upgrading to 2.5 from a previous OpenSearch Service domain version, the snapshot management security permissions might not be defined on the domain. Non-admin users must be mapped to this role in order to use snapshot management on domains using fine-grained access control. To manually create the snapshot management role, perform the following steps:

  1. In OpenSearch Dashboards, go to Security and choose Permissions.

  2. Choose Create action group and configure the following groups:

    Group name Permissions
    snapshot_management_full_access
    • cluster:admin/opensearch/snapshot_management/*

    • cluster:admin/opensearch/notifications/feature/publish

    • cluster:admin/repository/*

    • cluster:admin/snapshot/*

    snapshot_management_read_access
    • cluster:admin/opensearch/snapshot_management/policy/get

    • cluster:admin/opensearch/snapshot_management/policy/search

    • cluster:admin/opensearch/snapshot_management/policy/explain

    • cluster:admin/repository/get

    • cluster:admin/snapshot/get

  3. Choose Roles and Create role.

  4. Name the role snapshot_management_role.

  5. For Cluster permissions, select snapshot_management_full_access or snapshot_management_read_access.

  6. Choose Create.

  7. After you create the role, map it to any user or backend role that will manage snapshots.
