@ladeesh, I think the error message probably contains everything you need: ```auto [object Object]: [security_exception] action [indices:data/read/field_caps] is unauthorized for user [test] ``` You need to grant your `test` user the ability to access that index, otherwise you won't be able to read from those data sources ---
