Hello!

I'm setting up elastic cloud with GKE, sending the event using filebeat. I've configured it with the initial elastic user and now I want to demote the privileges of the filebeat user. Now the events are not sent and I always get the same error sending the logs:

```auto
Connection marked as failed because the onConnect callback failed: failed to check for alias [...] reason: "action [indices:admin/aliases/get] is unauthorized for user [***********]"},"status":403}

```

I've tried every single combination of permissions, even with `all` for cluster and `all` for the index with no results.

Any ideas? 🙏
