Hi everyone,

i want to know what exactly roles required for ingesting if i want to create custom user only for ingesting? fyi, i'm using elastic v7.13

i've been read this [page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/security-privileges.html) but i'm so confused. what privileges that i must add to my custom user if i want this user can do ingesting only.

Thanks

Hi,

What application do you want to use for ingesting? There are specific role descriptions available depending on the tool:

- [Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/ls-security.html#ls-http-auth-basic)
- [FileBeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/privileges-to-publish-events.html)
- [MetricBeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/privileges-to-publish-events.html)
- ...

Best regards  
Wolfram
