Briefly, this error occurs when a user tries to access a service in Elasticsearch for which they don’t have the necessary permissions. This could be due to incorrect user roles or privileges. To resolve this issue, you can check the user’s assigned roles and permissions in the Elasticsearch security settings. If necessary, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required permissions for the service they’re trying to access.
