Hi,

I installed ES 7.9.3 and somehow geoip.location doesn't get mapped to a geo\_point. I did the mapping, and it worked, but when I try to do the same mapping for a dynamically created index (with custom dates, for example: index-%{YYYY-mm-dd}), I get an error:

```auto
    PUT test-*
    {
      "mappings": {      
        "properties": {
          "geoip.location": {
            "type": "geo_point"
            }
        }
      }
    }

```

I get:

```auto
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "security_exception",
        "reason" : "action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "security_exception",
    "reason" : "action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "illegal_state_exception",
      "reason" : "There are no external requests known to support wildcards that don't support replacing their indices"
    }
  },
  "status" : 403
}

```

Is this possible at all?

Are you sure you have the right permissions to do this?
