When Is It Safe To Disable The Security Plugin?

Hi,

I’m currently setting up opensearch as the search server for Confluence (this is on an internal network). In regards to the security plugin, when is it “safe“ to disable it?

@xalexander Disabling security is never safe. When you disable the security plugin, you allow access to the cluster and data to anyone without authentication.

You would have to sandbox your OpenSearch cluster to protect the data.
