Document and field level security not supported in trial license

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have just made a trial installation of the Elastic Cloud to test out document level security. But when I configure document level security via the Elasticsearch API I get an error message saying that "Document and field level security is not supported in this license".
Why does the trial deployment have these license limitations? How can I evaluate the feature then?

What is the output from GET /_license?

What did you install exactly?
What people typically mean when they refer to Elastic Cloud is our hosted solution, but that doesn't require installation.

It looks like you have a platinum license and the subscriptions page indicates field and document level security should be available at that level so it should work.

@boskjoett please don't post things like your Cloud ID, as it will let other people connect to your Elasticsearch cluster. I've delete the post that contained this info.

On the elastic.co web site I clicked "Start a free trial", so I have a trial deployment of the Elastic stack.

I tried setting up a role with document level security using Postman, and it worked. So it works. I will close this issue.
