Index delete error with ILM

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with indexes.
Indeed, it no longer deletes itself automatically as expected with my Index Policy management.

When I look I get this error message

"Index lifecycle error : security_exception: action [indices:admin/settings/update] is unauthorized for user [XXXXX]"

This user is a member of my domain and is not an application-specific local account.
Some indexes have the same Index Policy management but delete themselves automatically without problem.

What to do to solve this problem? thank you for your answer

ILM executes as the user that put the policy in place. In this case, it appears that the user who created/updated the policy does not have the permissions to update settings for the index.

To fix this, you'll need to update the policy with a user that has the correct permissions.
