Briefly, this error occurs when there is an attempt to update a role in Elasticsearch that either doesn’t exist or the user doesn’t have the necessary permissions to update. To resolve this issue, you can either create the role if it doesn’t exist or ensure the user has the necessary permissions to update the role. Additionally, check the role definition for any syntax errors or incorrect field names. If the problem persists, consider restarting the Elasticsearch cluster to ensure any cached role data is refreshed.

                    logger.info("updated role [{}]"; request.name());
