Hi,when i use a single es cluster with kibana,it support add roles or modify roles by kibana or by http api,but when i use tribe node with kibana, it can't support add roles with a error show that 'tribe node can't add roles',but i set a prefer node in tribe node [settings.Is](http://settings.Is) there a method to solve this problem?On the other way,is there some plan to support tribe node modify roles in es? THX
