I want to apply document level security in elastic, but once I provide more than one value in user metadata I get no matches.
I am creating a role and a user in elastic and passing values inside user metadata to the role on whose basis the search should happen. It works fine if I give one value.
For creating role:
PUT _xpack/security/role/my_policy
{
"indices": [{
"names": ["my_index"],
"privileges": ["read"],
"query": {
"template": {
"source": "{\"bool\": {\"filter\": [{\"terms_set\": {\"country_name\": {\"terms\": {{#toJson}}_user.metadata.country_name{{/toJson}},\"minimum_should_match_script\":{\"source\":\"params.num_terms\"}}}}]}}"
}
}
}]
}
And for user:
PUT _xpack/security/user/jack_black
{
"username": "jack_black",
"password":"testtest",
"roles": ["my_policy"],
"full_name": "Jack Black"
"email": "jb@tenaciousd.com",
"metadata": {
"country_name": ["india" , "japan"]
}
}
I expect the output to be results for india and japan only. If the user searches for anything else they should get no results.
However, I do not see any results at all:
{
"took": 1,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 0,
"max_score": null,
"hits": []
}
}
