**Problem:** For historical reasons, source files for the Elasticsearch Guide's security, watcher, and Logstash API docs are housed in the `x-pack/docs` directory. This can confuse new contributors who expect Elasticsearch Guide docs to be located in `docs/reference`. **Solution:** - Move the security, watcher, and Logstash API doc source files to the `docs/reference` directory - Update doc snippet tests to use security Rel: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/208

=== Internal users
|
|
|
|
NOTE: These users are designed for internal use by {es} only. Authenticating with these users is not supported.
|
|
|
|
The {stack-security-features} use eight _internal_ users (`_system`, `_xpack`,
|
|
`_xpack_security`, `_async_search`, `_security_profile`, `_data_stream_lifecycle`, `_synonyms` and `_storage`),
|
|
which are responsible for the operations that take place inside an {es} cluster.
|
|
|
|
These users are only used by requests that originate from within the cluster.
|
|
For this reason, they cannot be used to authenticate against the API and there
|
|
is no password to manage or reset.
|
|
|
|
From time-to-time you may find a reference to one of these users inside your
|
|
logs, including <<enable-audit-logging,audit logs>>.
