Hello

do you know what privilege I have to include in a role in order for this user to be able to execute that action?

```auto
[2020-09-24T19:47:08,114][ERROR][o.e.x.i.IndexLifecycleRunner] [node01] policy [apm-rollover-30-days] for index [apm-7.8.0-transaction-000001] failed on step [{"phase":"hot","action":"set_priority","name":"set_priority"}]. Moving to ERROR step
org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSecurityException: action [indices:admin/settings/update] is unauthorized for user [monitoramento]

```

This user currently have all roles/privileges as described in the \*beat documentation:

Other than that I've granted a custom role in order to try to solve this. Currently this role has the following privileges:
