I have setup a role to allow beats data to be indexed. I followed this article:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/feature-roles.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/feature-roles.html)

The indexes aren't created and I receive the following entry in the audit log:  
{"@timestamp":"2019-06-21T10:24:44,209", "node.id":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "event.type":"transport", **"event.action":"access\_denied"** , "user.name":"ingest\_user", "user.realm":"default\_native", "user.roles":["ingest\_role","beats\_system"], "origin.type":"rest", "origin.address":"xx.xx.xx.xx:xxx", "request.id":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", **"action":"indices:admin/aliases"** , "request.name":"CreateIndexRequest", "indices":["\<metricbeat-financedept-{now/d}-000001\>"]}

What additional permissions are required to resolve this?
