How to get and create users using the Kibana API

[Amphagory]

Hello,

I'm using the Elastic cloud service and the version I'm using is 7.16.2

I'm trying to get and create users from the following documentation using Postman and a Python script,

1. GET user: Get users API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic

2. Create user: Create or update users API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic

I keep getting the following response:

{
    "statusCode": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "message": "Not Found"
}

For instance, I'm using the following url to GET all users

<kibana host>:<port>/_security/user

you can use ES API or kibana Stack Management to create user ：

curl -X POST "localhost:9200/_security/user/jacknich?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "password" : "l0ng-r4nd0m-p@ssw0rd",
  "roles" : [ "admin", "other_role1" ],
  "full_name" : "Jack Nicholson",
  "email" : "jacknich@example.com",
  "metadata" : {
    "intelligence" : 7
  }
}
'

I see the error of my ways, I need to hit the Elasticsearch endpoint and not Kibana.

I must have been looking at old documentation and the new documentation all points to the Elasticsearch endpoint.
