I have encountered the problem that Kibana stuck completing setup when I launch it with user super123

When I looked at the log, I found that there's an error stating that

> Blockquote [ERROR][savedobjects-service] [.kibana] Action failed with 'security\_exception: [security\_exception] Reason: action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [super123] with roles [admincreate,superuser] on restricted indices [.kibana\_8.4.3\_001], this action is granted by the index privileges [create\_index,manage,all]'. Retrying attempt 1 in 2 seconds.

So, I have used the command

```auto
curl -k -u "super123" "http://elasticsearch-service:9200/_security/user/_privileges"

```

I understand that this user: super123 have the create\_index privilege now, and it should work. Can anyone guide what went wrong here?
