Automatically create role based on index

In my setup I'll be creating indexes where the index is the id = an associated group of applications.
This id will be in an LDAP tree where the user has access to a # of id's.

Apologies, but I'm not sure I follow this. Could you try to elaborate or add a more concrete example ?

Is there a way to automatically setup/create an READ only index role when a new index is created in ES?

If you mean internally to elasticsearch, no. There is no functionality to trigger role creation based on index creation and there is no template option for roles that would take into consideration the index name. One possibility might be to have a watch with a short trigger that would perform a search as input and then use the webhook action to call the Create Role API to add the role you want. I haven't done something similar before but it looks possible.
