Metricbeat user privileges for data ingest?

Elastic Stack Beats

What are the privileges required for a metricbeat user to receive data?

Under (Hamburger) -> Stack Management -> Security -> Users, I've set up a metricbeat user. Its purpose is to receive metrics.

What are its required privileges? Atm, I've assigned it the superuser privilege, but that's a bit much.

Can anyone state here the required privileges, or point me to a resource? I've Googled around and haven't found anything direct.

Thanks, Keith
