Hello!

Please, we are using Opensearch 2.11.1 and we’ve noticed that the permissions “indices:data/read/scroll” and “indices:data/read/scroll/clear” are appearing as “Cluster permission”, is that normal?

Thanks in advance!

Gabriel.

Hi @gferrette,

That is normal, and if my understanding is correct the `Cluster` applies “cluster-globally” instead as per the index pattern.

Please do let me know if you have any further questions.

best,
