Hi,

I am using elasticsearch version 6.3.0 and we have one index A create on elastic and we want to create one more index B but we need to create this index in separate userX in elastic, So that this userX has no access to index A and can perform all its operation on index B.

Can we create indexes on separate users?

Thanks.
