Hi,  
I'm using elasticsearch 5.3.1 with X-Pack. I created a user with the following role. When I now execute an analyzer i will get the following error. How can I add analyze privilege to my role?  
Thanks for your help!

**Error**  
Elasticsearch analysis failed with message '[security\_exception] action [indices:admin/analyze] is unauthorized for user [alice]' for query 'Gulgowski163'

**Role**  
"RestrictByCity": {  
"cluster": [  
"monitor"  
],  
"indices": [  
{  
"names": [  
"fhir"  
],  
"privileges": [  
"read"  
],  
"query": "{"match":{"address.city":"Boston"}}"  
}  
],  
"run\_as": [],  
"metadata": {},  
"transient\_metadata": {  
"enabled": true  
}  
}
