I give a test role manage\_index\_templates privilege, but it still can't put component template.kibana return 403 permission forbidden.  
In [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/indices-component-template.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/indices-component-template.html) doc suggests to give manage\_index\_templates privilege to use this api.but it not work.  
Could you please tell me how to use and what this issue?  
Thanks!

```auto
  "test_user" : {
    "cluster" : [
      "manage_index_templates"
    ],
    "indices" : [],
    "applications" : [
      {
        "application" : "kibana-.kibana",
        "privileges" : [
          "space_all"
        ],
        "resources" : [
          "space:default"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "run_as" : [
      "testUser"
    ],
    "metadata" : { },
    "transient_metadata" : {
      "enabled" : true
    }
  }
}

```
