Hello,

Is there a role privilege in elasticsearch 7.X giving only new index creation rights?

Also, is there a way to automatically give write and/or read privileges on an index to the user who created it?

See [`create_index`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/security-privileges.html#privileges-list-indices) in our docs
