Security in elasticsearch without Xpack

[njkl]

Hi,

This is only a clarification request. Is it possible to manage security without Xpack ? (create role, assign role, create users, assign user, assign role to specific functions, etc ?)

Also, is the xpack the only plugin out there to handle security ? or there is others (free or not) ?

It's not possible without a plugin that provides this functionality (Elasticsearch does not support it natively) or heavy lifting on your end to put a proxy in front of Elasticsearch that you build these features through. X-Pack is one plugin that does provide these things.
