Hi,

When we are doing cross cluster replication ,for replicating data from remote to local, how users and roles data will be replicated to local cluster.  
Bit confused.

Hi @RamyaGowda,

As per [documentation for CCR](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/xpack-ccr.html) it does not replicate users and roles but only indices.  
There is no support for internal indices replication.  
I think you will have to do the replication of users and roles on your own.
