I've attempted to get all roles available via this url: [https://XXXXXXXXXXX.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/\_xpack/security/role](https://XXXXXXXXXXX.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/_xpack/security/role) but I'm receiving a 404 - Not Found. I suspect I may be trying to access the wrong URL, but I'm not sure what the correct URL is. Any assistance would be appreciated. ---

Nevermind, it seemed to be an authentication issue. Not sure why I was receiving a 404 instead of 403, but I'm able to access X-Pack now. ---
