Hello,

I added custom permissions for new role like this:  
{"match": {"computerName.keyword" : "HOST-depName-ABC"}}

in this case user will see documents only with "HOST-depName-ABC" computerName.keyword.

I want to use wildcard in this extension like this:  
{"match": {"computerName.keyword" : "HOST-depName-\*"}}  
in this case user does not see anything.

Note: I`m using cloud subscription.

Could you please help me with this?

You can use them in the `query` part that the example shows.
