Editing role in xpack returns strict dynamic mapping exception

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

today I wanted to edit a role in Kibana.
When saving the role, kibana throws the following error:

[strict_dynamic_mapping_exception] mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [metadata] within [role] is not allowed

Trying the same by using a PUT /_xpack/security/role/rolename in the console gives me the same error:

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "strict_dynamic_mapping_exception",
        "reason": "mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [metadata] within [role] is not allowed"
      }
    ],
    "type": "strict_dynamic_mapping_exception",
    "reason": "mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [metadata] within [role] is not allowed"
  },
  "status": 400
}

I am using ELK in it's 5.0 alpha5 version with a trial license of xpack.

Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to put?

I'm trying to PUT the following, but it also throws the error when choosing other options.
When using the Management --> Elasticsearch --> Roles in Kibana it does the same error.

PUT /_xpack/security/role/test
{
    "cluster": [
      "all"
    ],
    "indices": [],
    "run_as": []
}

Is this a cluster that you had upgraded from an earlier release?

@jaymode - I'm experiencing the Same issue and it is a dev cluster that we upgraded from 2.3 -> 5.0 Alpha last week. Tried adding role from both Kibana and Sense and same exact error.

Hi @Ryan_Young,

If you upgrade to beta1, which was just released a few minutes ago this issue should be fixed. Please let us know how it goes!
