Unable to create role mapping

Security
1

Versions:
Opensearch 2.11.1
MacOS, running on Docker

Describe the issue:

I am unable to map a role to a user, both through the Opensearch Dashboard as well as through the Rest API.

Through the dashboard, I see no option to add a role to a user:

Even through the Rest API,when the run the following:

curl -XPUT -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -u 'admin:admin' 'https://localhost:9200/_plugins/_security/api/rolesmapping' -d '{"backend_roles": [], "hosts": [], "users": ["user-a"]',

I see the following error:
{“error”:“Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/_plugins/_security/api/rolesmapping] and method [PUT], allowed: [PATCH, GET]”,“status”:405

This is my docker-compose file:

@searchsearch Please follow this OpenSearch documentation.

You’ve missed the role name in the URL.

`curl -XPUT -k -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -u 'admin:admin' 'https://localhost:9200/_plugins/_security/api/rolesmapping/<role_name>' -d '{"backend_roles": [], "hosts": [], "users": ["user-a"]'`,
