Hi folks,
I wanted that no one can make changes into my dashboard so i tried it with restrict the user access using api
curl -XPUT '[http://10.150.86.175:9200/Index](http://10.150.86.175:9200/Index) Name/\_settings' -d '{ "index.blocks.read\_only" : true }'
It is working fine but now i want to make changes to the index so what call i need to make
curl -XPUT '[http://10.150.86.175:9200/logstash-altria\_access/\_settings](http://10.150.86.175:9200/logstash-altria_access/_settings)' -d '{ "index.blocks.read\_only" : false}'
I tried this but is not working for me

Hi there,
Which version of Elasticsearch are you using? Can you check your network requests and see if that second request is getting an error response? Can you verify that you haven't also set `index.blocks.read` or `index.blocks.write` by mistake?
Also, can you tell me more about which other changes you're trying to make to the index, and what happens when you try to make them?
Thanks,
CJ
