Hi,  
I was wondering if anyone could help me with my problem:

I have a template and number of indices are mapped using the template.  
i.e.  
cdr\_xyz\_1234  
cdr\_xyz\_5689  
cdr\_xyz\_9876

I run a search query on all the indices and it works fine  
GET cdr\_xyz\_\*/\_search  
{  
"size": 10000,  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"filter": [  
{  
"range": {  
"call\_datetime\_iso": {  
"gte": "2019-11-20"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

but if I run a aggregate search query

GET cdr\_xyz\_\*/\_serach  
{ "size" : 0,  
"query":  
{"bool":  
{"must":  
[  
{"match": {"call\_type": "MOBILE"}}  
]  
}  
},  
"aggs":  
{"account":  
{"terms": {"field": "accountid.keyword"},  
"aggs":  
{"calls\_over\_time":  
{"date\_histogram":  
{"field": "call\_datetime\_iso", "interval": "week"}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

I get this  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "security\_exception",  
"reason": "action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]"  
}  
],  
"type": "security\_exception",  
"reason": "action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "illegal\_state\_exception",  
"reason": "There are no external requests known to support wildcards that don't support replacing their indices"  
}  
},  
"status": 403  
}

I even created a user with the role which has "cdr\_xyz\_\*" all privileges but still get the same error.  
Could you please tell me how to resolve this issue.

Many thanks

Try `_search`.

Thanks Geln. That was a mistype when I create the sample.  
I changes the {"terms": {"field": "accountid.keyword"} to {"terms": {"field": "accountid"} and it seems to work but I don't know why as the accountid is mapped as keyword!!
