Hi Team,

User would like to change Elasticsearch config to allow anonymous to post data to our Elastic search. No other accesses like read or delete shall be given to anonymous.

Hi @Bhanuji_paluri. Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like your question pertains to Elasticsearch. This forum is for Endpoint Security.

I am no Elasticsearch expert - my area is Endpoint Security - but you might want to try enabling [anonymous access](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/anonymous-access.html) and giving the anonymous user the [create\_doc privilege](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-privileges.html#privileges-list-indices) to the index of interest.

If that doesn't work, and you can't find an an answer on Google, please consider posting this on the [Elasticsearch forum](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elastic-stack). I can't move this issue to that forum, so I am going to close it here.

2023-01-03 EDIT: It turns out I can move it. There's a menu I wasn't previously aware of. Moved and reopened 🙂
