I've combed the docs, but I can't figure out how to secure the default elastic (or any other users) using the elasticsearch-oss install (I'm using 7.6.1)
According to https://www.elastic.co/what-is/open-x-pack, x-pack is available for the oss, version, but it's not bundled with it (even my modern version), and I can't install it either.
Is there some other recommended way to secure users in the OSS install? Every thread and documentation just points to 'use x-pack'.
X-Pack is not available for the oss distribution and there is no built in security. You need to switch to the default distribution or use some third party plugin to secure it.
