The documentation on URL-based access control[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/url-access-control.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/url-access-control.html) implies that \_bulk still works if you set rest.action.multi.allow\_explicit\_index: false, as long as you specify the index in the URL. However, I can't get it to work. POST /foo/bar/\_bulk { "index": {} } { "\_id": 1234, "baz": "foobar" } returns explicit index in bulk is not allowed Should this work? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, after having a very quick look, it looks like a bug (or wrong documentation, need to check further). Can you create a github issue?

The bulk format does not allow \_id in the payload line, you confuse the indexer.
