curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_cluster1\_repository](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_cluster1_repository)' -d '{

I do not have delete permission and I cannot get it also. Is there anyway to set the policy with only readonly option? I will really appreciate any help.

I get this error

It's somehow the same question you asked at [Create repository with ES 1.7.4 with with no delete access to IAMCONSOLE?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/create-repository-with-es-1-7-4-with-with-no-delete-access-to-iamconsole/41631) right?
