Hello World!

I'm trying out eck'quickstart:

> **[Quickstart | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes \[2.10\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-quickstart.html)**

and even though I'm logging in as `elastic` user, which is `superadmin`, I get the following message when I try to access Kibana'Monitoring app:

> Access Denied  
> You are not authorized to access Monitoring. To use Monitoring, you need the privileges granted by both the `kibana_admin` and `monitoring_user ` roles.  
> If you are attempting to access a dedicated monitoring cluster, this might be because you are logged in as a user that is not configured on the monitoring cluster.  
> Since Cross Cluster Search is enabled (`monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled` is set to `true`), make sure your cluster has the `remote_cluster_client` role on at least one node.

```auto
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
  name: dd
spec:
  version: 8.10.4
  nodeSets:
  - name: default
    config:
attr_value
      node.roles: ["master", "data", "ingest", "ml"]
performance cost
      node.store.allow_mmap: false
      monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled: false

```

as soon as I add

> ```
> monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled: false
> 
> ```

elasticsearch won't even start anymore(

Please advise)  
Thank you!

I've added `remote_cluster_client` to node.role and now able to access the Kibana'Monitoring app 😉

Thanks!
