Hi @tylerjl et al,

Referring to [shield privileges](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/2.3/shield-privileges.html), does the privilege `manage` include `manage_index_templates`.

Hi Sandeep,

I just looked into it and yes, the `manage` privilege DOES include the `manage_index_templates` privilege.

Thanks,  
CJ
