As part of bootstrap, Can we create the builtin user "elastic" with providing more roles other than superuser role  
When elastic user gets created it is assigned with super user role.  
I need to assign few more privileges to the user. Can I create a role with the configuration files we have so that elastic user will be created with all the roles that I want
