[Triage] - @FrcMoya would you be able to provide some more information about your issue/setup - permissions/mappings for a tenant that you think is working correctly? Once we understand more about your setup we can see if it is a bug or misconfiguration, thanks! Not marking this as triaged just yet.

[Triage] Hi @FrcMoya just following up. If we don't hear from you I will go ahead and close this as an expected misconfiguration. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I will try to explain this using some screenshots.

On one hand, if you want to allow a role (internal role inside OpenSearch) read only (it is my particular case) to the global tenant it is mandatory to at least give them permission to read_only in the global tenant plus these indexes:

On the other hand, if you want to allow a role permissions to any other tenant created by the OpenSearch Dashboards administrator (a custom tenant), it is no mandatory to give permissions to any indexes in particular, it is only necessary the read only permission in the corresponding tenant:

For me this is a strange behavior and it is not documented, it was a trial and error process until I got the configuration I needed. If all this configuration is correct and the behavior is expected, I believe it is necessary to document it, since they are not obvious requirements.
