Before OpenSearch 3.1, plugins hand-rolled document-level access control, duplicating effort and creating inconsistent security behavior and user experiences. Even basic collaboration required security administrators to act as intermediaries.
To address this, OpenSearch introduced the Resource Sharing Framework, enabling secure, fine-grained, owner-driven sharing of plugin resources while complementing role-based access control. Since its introduction, the framework has evolved through OpenSearch 3.4 with more plugins onboarded, refined permission scopes, improved APIs, and operational hardening.
This session explains how the framework extends the Security plugin to protect high-level resources, allow owners (or full-access users) to grant and revoke per-user or per-role access at action-group granularity, and perform permission checks using standardized Java and REST APIs. You’ll see how the Anomaly Detection plugin adopts the framework to enable Google-Docs-style sharing without admin overhead. Attendees will leave with a practical migration blueprint for retiring bespoke access-control schemes and delivering a consistent, secure collaboration experience across plugins.
