We are using ElasticCloud 5.1.1 and I would like to create a user who has only access to cluster/health but not to other cluster information. Does anyone know if that is possible at all and if so, how?

Hi Mark,

Have you tried creating a role that only has "monitor" cluster privileges, and then assigning that role to the user? Here are the docs: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/security-privileges.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/security-privileges.html)

Please let me know if this helps. Thanks!

CJ
