I'm building a plugin that would execute some custom authorization logic, namely integrating the OpenPolicyAgent into the authorization flow of ES. I have implemented the `org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.security.authz.AuthorizationEngine` interface in my plugin. It works as far as I'm seeing one method of my plugin being called by ES, but only that one (`validateIndexPermissionsAreSubset`). The one where I see I could actually modify the authorization of the search or getting of documents is (as far as I understand from the docs) is `authorizeIndexAction`. That one however never get's called. But neither do `resolveAuthorizationInfo` or `authorizeClusterAction`. Can anyone help me out if I'm on the right track here and what could be the problem? ---
