Hi  
You can use the UI to create roles and users and easily assign roles to users or you can use the API to do the same .

Ref: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-api-users.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-api-users.html)  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-api-roles.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-api-roles.html)

via UI: Navigate to Management \> Security\> Users /Roles

Thanks  
Rashmi
