Hi @cdobbins,

To achieve the desired behaviour in OpenSearch with minimal permission you will need the following:

/opensearch/config/opensearch-security/config.yml
add:

config:
  dynamic:
    do_not_fail_on_forbidden: true
    do_not_fail_on_forbidden_empty: true
    ...

Minimum permission required:

    "cluster_permissions" : [
      "cluster:monitor/state",
      "cluster:monitor/health"
    ],
    "index_permissions" : [
      {
        "index_patterns" : [
          **List of index patterns**
        ],
        "allowed_actions" : [
          "indices:monitor/settings/get",
          "indices:monitor/stats"
        ]
      }
    ]

You can get more information on this here: [BUG] do_not_fail_on_forbidden_empty does not work for cat api · Issue #1815 · opensearch-project/security · GitHub and [Backport 2.x] Command `cat/indices` will filter results per the do not fail on forbidden setting by derek-ho · Pull Request #3258 · opensearch-project/security · GitHub

Best,
