manage_securitycluster privilege.
Request bodyedit

-
security-tokens - (Optional, object) Settings to be used for the index used to store tokens.

Descriptionedit
This API allows a user to modify the settings for the Security internal indices
(.security and associated indices). Only a subset of settings are allowed to
be modified. This includes:
-
index.auto_expand_replicas -
index.number_of_replicas
Examplesedit
An example of modifying the Security settings:
PUT /_security/settings
{
"security": {
"index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-all"
},
"security-tokens": {
"index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-all"
},
"security-profile": {
"index.auto_expand_replicas": "0-all"
}
}
The configured settings can be retrieved using the Get Security index settings API. If a given index is not in use on the system, but settings are provided for it, the request will be rejected - this API does not yet support configuring the settings for these indices before they are in use.
