Greetings Is it possible to use the Roles API to set the `timeout` parameter on a per-role basis? For example, I would like to restrict users belonging to a role `generic_user` to making searches that take no longer than 10 seconds, but I still want my reporters belonging to a role `reporting_user` to be able to make several minutes long searches. Is this possible as of 6.7, or is it planned for further out, or not at all? Thanks ---

This is not currently supported, and we have no concrete plans for it. We are considering features in the general space of per user limits/restrictions, but there's nothing planned for the very near future. ---
