I am using Version 6.5, platinum license

When using user, password for enrollment as described in  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/enroll-beats.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/enroll-beats.html)  
what are the minimal security role/privileges/fields the user needs to succeed the enrollment.

For security reasons I do not want to expose an user with beats\_admin rights e.g. on an edge server within a DMZ.

If you have a Platinum license you can also raise a support request and someone will be happy to help 🙂
