I'm trying to set the replica count for .security-7 to 3 so that if 2 nodes go down it's still ok. But it seems superuser can't update it. What's the best path forward for this situation. The docs don't really answer this.

I found solution. Create role with this setting -\> allow\_restricted\_indices: true
