OpenSearch User Management
One administrator user with the all_access role is automatically created for each cluster. The user with this role has full access to the cluster — for example, the right to write data to all indexes and all tenants (tenants). The administrator can manage other users in the OpenSearch cluster through the OpenSearch Dashboard and API. The list of OpenSearch operations that are available to the administrator can be found in the Supported Operations manual.
The administrator login is admin. The administrator password is set at cluster creation. Once created, you cannot view the password in the control panel, but you can modify.
Read more about managing users and roles in the manual Defining users and roles OpenSearch documentation.
