### New data role `test_index_only`

Click the New button, select the data role, create a new data role `test_index_only`, and then configure the following:

- Select only `es-v7140` for the cluster (restrict access to this role only to the Elasticsearch cluster `es-v7140`)
- Set index permissions to index only enter the index pattern `test*` (restrict the role to only index access permissions whose index name matches `test*`)
