 Keep in mind that enabling this feature and mapping system index permissions to normal users gives those users access to indexes that may contain sensitive information and configurations essential to a cluster's health. We also recommend caution when mapping users to `restapi:admin/roles` because this permission gives a user not only the ability to assign the system index permission to another user but also the ability to self-assign access to any system index.

+### `do_not_fail_on_forbidden`
+
+If a user attempts to query multiple indexes, some of which they lack permissions for, by default they get an `error` in the OpenSearch Dashboards UI or an `exception` when using `cURL` or an API. If you instead want the user to receive the search results for any of the indexes for which they _do_ have permissions, you can set the option `do_not_fail_on_forbidden` to `true` in `config.yml`. See the following example:
+
+```
+_meta:
+  type: "config"
+  config_version: 2
+config:
+  dynamic:
+    http:
+      anonymous_auth_enabled: false
+      xff:
+        enabled: false
+        internalProxies: "192\\.168\\.0\\.10|192\\.168\\.0\\.11"
+    do_not_fail_on_forbidden: true
+    authc:
+      basic_internal_auth_domain:
+      ...
+```
+It is important to remember that if this option is set to `true`, then the user is served the data as if it is the complete dataset. There is no indication that some data may be omitted.
+{: .warning }
+
+### `do_not_fail_on_forbidden_empty`
+
+When a user attempts to view a visualization for which they lack index permissions, they will see `error` in place of the visualization. To change this behavior to display `No results displayed because all values equal 0.`, you can set `do_not_fail_on_forbidden_empty` to `true` in `config.yml`. This option is only valid if `do_not_fail_on_forbidden` is also set to `true`. See the following example:
+
+```

+  type: "config"
+  config_version: 2
