ACLs

ACLs allow a fine grained control over the Elasticsearch APIs in addition to the Categories. Each ACL resembles an action performed by an Elasticsearch API. For brevity, setting and organising Categories automatically sets the default ACLs associated with the set Categories. Setting ACLs adds just another level of control to provide access to Elasticsearch APIs within a given Category. Each Elasticsearch Category maps to the following acls:
