Error creating index pattern in Kibana as non-cluster-admin

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The cluster admin is attempting to share Kibana urls with index pattern project.*. When I try to add this index pattern to my Kibana interface I receive the following error:
Error: [object Object]: [security_exception] no permissions for [indices:data/read/field_caps] and User [name=example, roles=[gen_kibana_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, gen_user_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]]
