[[role-management-api-put]]
=== Create or Update Role
experimental[This API is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release. Although the underlying mechanism of enforcing role-based access control is stable, the APIs for managing the roles are currently experimental.]
Creates a new {kib} role or updates the attributes of an existing role. {kib} roles are stored in the
{es} native realm.
==== Authorization
To use this API, you must have at least the `manage_security` cluster privilege.
==== Request
To create or update a role, issue a PUT request to the
`/api/security/role/<rolename>` endpoint.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /api/security/role/my_kibana_role
--------------------------------------------------
==== Request Body
The following parameters can be specified in the body of a PUT request to add or update a role:
`metadata`:: (object) Optional meta-data. Within the `metadata` object, keys
that begin with `_` are reserved for system usage.
`elasticsearch`:: (object) Optional {es} cluster and index privileges, valid keys are
`cluster`, `indices` and `run_as`. For more information, see {xpack-ref}/defining-roles.html[Defining Roles].
`kibana`:: (object) An object that specifies the <<kibana-privileges>>. Valid keys are `global` and `space`. Privileges defined in the `global` key will apply to all spaces within Kibana, and will take precedent over any privileges defined in the `space` key. For example, specifying `global: ["all"]` will grant full access to all spaces within Kibana, even if the role indicates that a specific space should only have `read` privileges.
===== Example
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /api/security/role/my_kibana_role
{
"metadata" : {
"version" : 1
},
"elasticsearch": {

"indices" : [ {
"names" : [ "index1", "index2" ],
"privileges" : [ "all" ],
"field_security" : {
"grant" : [ "title", "body" ]
},
"query" : "{\"match\": {\"title\": \"foo\"}}"
} ]
},
"kibana": {
"global": ["all"]
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// KIBANA
==== Response
A successful call returns a response code of `204` and no response body.
==== Granting access to specific spaces
To grant access to individual spaces within {kib}, specify the space identifier within the `kibana` object.
