Is there documentation around the new features that are being permissioned that would be helpful to read up on? From the new names structure is hard for me to understand the relationship between the permissions and their granularity.

e.g.

Added a new model metadata, automatically created on new models, can be manually created via an API call to create_model_meta. If the user has access to the model they can read the metadata. Only users with permissions can call the API to manually create the metadata.

From Fake Feature Documentation

Both forward/syncup seem like they apply to something rather than a top level permission, is this expected?

More changes might be needed to the backend

This change does not change any default permissions settings or register new permissions associated with roles or action groups. It only modifies the permissions that are displayed in the UI for the security plugin for admins to add/remove permissions in a couple of flows.

If default permissions, roles, action groups, need to be changed those need to happen in the security backend's config files [1].

Permissions should only be created that impact users experience

There is a permission in the current pull request cluster:admin/opensearch/ml/forward that a cluster admin would never allow or not allow. This action name might need to be changed to start with 'internal' so it does not have any access checks applied to it - it is an internal action.

Testing should be done with the security plugin

There are a couple of comments where there is a question of functionality - I am at a disadvantage answer these questions as the security plugin has not changed its model, but it sounds like considerable work has been done inside ML for its new features. In order to know if those features will work correctly or you'll need to see how you've changed the contract of the systems.

No need, we have configured reserved roles before opensearch-project/security#1654

Agree, these internal actions were removed.

Yes , we have done test with security backend plugin (I guess @peternied knows better than me, security dashboard plugin is not necessary when do pen test as security plugin provides APIs ). This PR is just add new actions to security dashboard plugin, so user can configure action easily on UI.

@ylwu-amzn Thanks for the confirmation, you are good to merge. Please create an issue to document these permissions - I couldn't find any references to those names within the OpenSearch project.

Yes, tech writer is working on these documentation.
