Privileges for using ArcGIS with Elasticsearch

Privileges determine what a user is authorized to do with the data and the database. You can view and query data from Elasticsearch in ArcGIS Pro.

To connect to an Elasticsearch cluster, the login used for authentication purposes must exist in the cluster.

Using Elasticsearch tools, the Elasticsearch administrator must create logins and grant cluster:monitor/main on the cluster to them.

The Elasticsearch administrator must additionally grant the following index privileges to each login, per index:

  • indices:admin/aliases/get
  • indices:admin/mappings/get
  • indices:monitor/stats
  • read
  • view_index_metadata
