Transport run as denied t roles= action= request= – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Briefly, this error occurs when a user or role tries to perform an action in Elasticsearch that they don’t have the necessary permissions for. This is a security feature to prevent unauthorized access or modifications. To resolve this issue, you can either grant the necessary permissions to the user or role, or perform the action with a user or role that already has the necessary permissions. Alternatively, you can disable the security feature, but this is not recommended as it can expose your Elasticsearch cluster to potential threats.

                            localNodeInfo.prefix; originAttributes(threadContext; message; localNodeInfo); runAsSubject(authentication);
                            arrayToCommaDelimitedString(roleNames); action; arrayToCommaDelimitedString(indices.get());
                            message.getClass().getSimpleName(); opaqueId());
                } else {
                    logger.info("{}[transport] [run_as_denied]\t{}; {}; roles=[{}]; action=[{}]; request=[{}]{}"; localNodeInfo.prefix;
                            originAttributes(threadContext; message; localNodeInfo); runAsSubject(authentication);
                            arrayToCommaDelimitedString(roleNames); action; message.getClass().getSimpleName(); opaqueId());
