hard🚀 Application Q15 of Q15

Elasticsearch - Security

ACreate a role with 'read' privilege on the customer data index and assign it to users.

BCreate a role with 'write' privilege on all indices and assign it to users.

CDisable security to allow all users to access data freely.

DCreate a role with 'manage' privilege on the cluster only.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Define the goal for data protection
Only users with 'customer_read' role should view sensitive customer data.
Step 2: Choose the correct role setup
A role with 'read' privilege on the customer data index limits access to viewing only, assigned to authorized users.
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options
'Write' privilege allows changes, disabling security removes protection, and 'manage' privilege controls cluster, not data access.
Final Answer:
Create a role with 'read' privilege on the customer data index and assign it to users -> Option A
Quick Check:
Read role + assign users = protected data access [OK]

Quick Trick: Assign read role to users for safe data viewing [OK]
