I am using logstash to manage my templates using the elasticsearch output and `manage_template`. I have given the following role to the logstash user (see screenshot)

This is elasticsearch 5.1.1 hosted on [elastic.co](http://elastic.co)

You can see `manage_index_templates` is enabled. If I then add `superuser` permission to the user it creates the template fine, but I don't want to grant logstash all of those permissions. I thought `manage_index_templates` would be enough. Any ideas?

Thanks!
