add
xpack.security.authc.api_key.enabled: trueto yourconfig/elasticsearch.ymlfile.
App Search

Known Issues
edit- Deleting an external identity in Enterprise Search 7.8.0 does not remove the permissions granted to the linked Workplace Search user. To prevent the user from searching the corresponding content source, an admin must stop sharing the content source with the Workplace Search user. The forthcoming Enterprise Search 7.8.1 release fixes this issue.
