[[security-api-get-settings-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
This API allows a user to retrieve the user-configurable settings for the
Security internal index (`.security` and associated indices). Only a subset of
the index settings — those that are user-configurable—will be shown. This
includes:
- `index.auto_expand_replicas`
- `index.number_of_replicas`
[[security-api-get-settings-example]]
==== {api-examples-title}
An example of retrieving the security settings:
[source,console]
-----------------------------------------------------------
GET /_security/settings
-----------------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:user_profiles]
// TEST[setup:service_token42]
The configurable settings can be modified using the
<<security-api-update-settings,Update Security index settings>> API.
