Hi, is it possible to allow a role account to create new user accounts? I don't see it in the permissions. Right now I can only create new accounts from the built in elastic user.

Hi, add `manage_security` to some role and add that role to the acount you want.

> The `manage_security` [cluster privilege](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/security-privileges.html#privileges-list-cluster) is required to access role management.
