Hello, i'm planning to add a new user in kibana for logstash operation. I noticed the role logstash\_admin which is alerady built-in. My question is, can the logstash\_admin role make new indices (as configured in logstash config) in elasticsearch? Here is my planned config:

```auto
input{}
filter{}
output{
  elasticsearch{
    hosts=>some.ip.here:9200
    user=>"user_with_logstash_admin_role"
    password=>"passwordhere"
  }
}

```

where the "user\_with\_logstash\_admin\_role" is user made in kibana with logstash\_admin as the role.
