Hi,  
I do not understand documentation fragment  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/feature-roles.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/feature-roles.html)  
about privilege for filebeat write role

```auto
 Cluster
 cluster:admin/ingest/pipeline/get
 Check for ingest pipelines used by modules. Needed when using modules.

```

what rights do you mean exactly?  
I do not find such rights in Kibana & Elasticsearch 7.6.2

Hi @orsa - You need to add `cluster:admin/ingest/pipeline/get` as a custom option in the `Cluster privileges`:

This is a known limitation (as per this [comment](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/10241#issuecomment-541764353)). Such privilege is not yet listed in the built-in cluster privileges.

This had been listed on our [meta-issue for new privileges](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/30078). You can subscribe to this issue for further updates.

I hope that helps.

Hi @ropc  
thank you for the answer and links, this is a very interesting read for those who want to understand your product. I have a small clarifying question.  
do I understand correctly that the "cluster:admin/ingest/pipeline/get" privilege is defined in the code, but it is missing in autocomplete, or should I "collect" it as a role?

Hi @orsa - You're welcome. `cluster:admin/ingest/pipeline/get` is not yet listed in the list (e.g autocomplete). It does exists in the [Elasticsearch code](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/b4bc6ac08fcf38e40880ca3d8b04fbb43d395b84/server/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/ingest/GetPipelineAction.java#L27).
