I’m trying to migrate a cluster from Elasticsearch 6 to 7 and am going through our custom roles and changing the action groups they use per [Upgrading from 6.x to 7.x | Security for Elasticsearch | Search Guard](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/upgrading-6-7#migrating-to-the-new-built-in-action-groups)
We have some roles which use an action group called INDEX. E.g.
```auto
storage:
cluster:
- INDICES_MONITOR
- CLUSTER_COMPOSITE_OPS
- indices:data/read/scroll
- indices:data/read/scroll/clear
indices:
'storage-*':
'*':
- READ
- indices:monitor/settings/get
- indices:admin/get
'?kibana-storage':
'*':
- MANAGE
- INDEX
- READ
- DELETE
```
INDEX is an action group which is defined by default in Search Guard 6. I double checked it wasn’t something I or my colleagues had made by unziping search-guard-6-6.8.22-25.6.zip and looking at sg\_action\_groups.yml and it is there,
```auto
mike@foo:tmp>unzip -q search-guard-6-6.8.22-25.6.zip
mike@foo:tmp>grep -A7 ^INDEX: sgconfig/sg_action_groups.yml
INDEX:
readonly: true
permissions:
- "indices:data/write/index*"
- "indices:data/write/update*"
- "indices:admin/mapping/put"
- "indices:data/write/bulk*"
mike@foo:tmp>
```
But I cannot see INDEX mentioned at [Upgrading from 6.x to 7.x | Security for Elasticsearch | Search Guard](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/upgrading-6-7#migrating-to-the-new-built-in-action-groups)
Nor can I see it mentioned at [Action Groups | Elasticsearch Security | Search Guard](https://docs.search-guard.com/6.x-25/action-groups#pre-defined-action-groups)
Am I failing to see it or is it really not mentioned? And if it’s really not mentioned, then what do I do about this action group which is defined but undocumented?

There appears to be an `SGS_INDEX` action group defined in Search Guard now
> **[security/src/main/resources/static\_config/static\_action\_groups.yml · master ·...](https://git.floragunn.com/search-guard/search-guard-suite/-/blob/master/security/src/main/resources/static_config/static_action_groups.yml#L175)**

So is that what I should use instead of `INDEX` ? I still can’t find any reference to `INDEX` or `SGS_INDEX` in the documentation.

@mikew You’re correct. SG\_INDEX is the same as INDEX, and both are not documented in any version of SG documentation.
It will be reported to the dev team.
