Get service accounts API

edit

IMPORTANT: This documentation is no longer updated. Refer to Elastic's version policy and the latest documentation.

Get service accounts API

edit

Retrieves information about service accounts.

Currently, only the elastic/fleet-server service account is available.

Request

edit

GET /_security/service

GET /_security/service/<namespace>

GET /_security/service/<namespace>/<service>

Prerequisites

edit

To use this API, you must have at least the manage_service_account cluster privilege.

Description

edit

In production mode, service accounts require TLS on the HTTP interface. A runtime check prevents you from invoking any related APIs or authenticating with a service account token unless TLS is enabled on the HTTP interface. See encrypt HTTP client communications for Elasticsearch.

Path parameters

edit

namespace: (Optional, string) Name of the namespace. Omit this parameter to retrieve information about all service accounts. If you omit this parameter, you must also omit the service parameter.
service: (Optional, string) Name of the service name. Omit this parameter to retrieve information about all service accounts that belong to the specified namespace.

Response body

edit

A successful call returns a JSON object of service accounts. The API returns an empty object if no service account is found.
