[FEATURE] Add kibana_admin level for tenant_permissions to allow advanced settings modification in tenant #2337

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, OpenSearch only has 2 levels of access for a tenant:

  • kibana_all_read - read only access to a tenant
  • kibana_all_write - read and write access to a tenant

Given that advanced settings is a separate document in the .kibana index, any user with kibana_read_write can make modifications since its a write operation to a doc in a .kibana index.

OpenSearch should distinguish between 2 separate levels of write users:

  • kibana_all_write - users that have permissions to create new visualizations and dashboards and can change settings
  • kibana_only_write - users that have permissions to create new visualizations and dashboards but cannot change settings

What solution would you like?

To achieve this, I propose creating a separate API in the opensearch-dashboards module of core. This API will be a wrapper around the index operation to the .kibana index and allows the security plugin to authorize at the API level instead of just authorizing the index operation to the .kibana index.

What alternatives have you considered?
