This is a question regarding field level security. What is the best way to grant access to a role for all fields within an index (even upcoming) except fields, where the name of the field starts with 'sec'? I already tried: ... fields: - '/[^s][^e][^c].\*/' but it didn't work. ---

Hi Martin, Currently we do not support regexes for field level security. Fields that a user should see need to be specified in the list of allowed fields per role (wildcard patterns are allowed). ---
