Hi @aspiringananya,

have you checked these:

github.com

opensearch-project/opensearch-py/blob/main/guides/plugins/security.md

- [Security Plugin](#security-plugin)
  - [Create a Role](#create-a-role)
  - [Get a Role](#get-a-role)
  - [Create a User](#create-a-user)
  - [Get a User](#get-a-user)

### Security Plugin

The [Security Plugin API](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security/access-control/api/) lets you programmatically create and manage users, roles, role mappings, action groups, and tenants.

#### Create a Role

```python
role_name = "test-role"

role_content = {
  "cluster_permissions": ["cluster_monitor"],
  "index_permissions": [
      {
          "index_patterns": ["index", "test-*"],
