The documentation for tribe nodes states `Master level write operations (eg Create Index) are not allowed. These should be performed on a single cluster.`

Is there full documentation on which operations are "Master-Level" and which ones are not?? I can guess obviously but it would be nice to have a resource so that I can be certain without having to check in with anybody 🙂

Thanks!!
