Hello, I am trying to modify index.unassigned.node\_left.delayed\_timeout to 5min, so I enter one of my datanode(with graylog datanode 7.0.1, but got an 403 error:

> [root@graylog-data1 gray]# curl -k -XPUT “[https://1.1.1.1:9200/\_all/\_settings?pretty](https://1.1.1.1:9200/_all/_settings?pretty)”  
> –cert /root/cert/gray/admin-client.crt  
> –key /root/cert/gray/admin-client.key  
> –cacert /root/cert/gray/admin-ca.crt  
> -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’  
> -d ‘{“settings”: {“index.unassigned.node\_left.delayed\_timeout”: “5m”}}’  
> {  
> “error” : {  
> “root\_cause” : [  
> {  
> “type” : “security\_exception”,  
> “reason” : “no permissions for and User [name=2026, backend\_roles=, requestedTenant=null]”

> “type” : “security\_exception”,  
> “reason” : “no permissions for and User [name=2026, backend\_roles=, requestedTenant=null]”  
> },  
> “status” : 403  
> }

the three key was generate from graylog web site, in certificate-management. And I am sure they are with all access role, beacuse I can do other things like check shards status.

I did some search, seems in datanode, I can not change the setting with curl command? So, how can I do the change?

Thanks!

Hey @baalkchina,

You will need to do some additional configuration for this to work.

[This post outlines the process.](https://community.graylog.org/t/give-indices-admin-template-put-permission-to-user-datanode/35519/6)
