This is required so the Logstash Centralized Configuration Management UI in Kibana may make the GET / request to Elasticsearch and retrieve the cluster UUID. It then uses this cluster UUID to make a call to a Kibana Monitoring API to retrieve a list of pipelines from Monitoring. In order for the Kibana Monitoring API request to succeed, the logged-in user needs to have the built-in monitoring_user role anyway, so we give this role the cluster:monitor/main privilege.
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@bf6ad5c1df
This creates a new "beats_system" user and role with the same
privileges as the existing "logstash_system" user/role.
The "beat_system" user is also added as a managed user within
the "setup-passwords" command.
Users who upgrade from an earlier version of Elasticsearch/X-Pack
will need to manually set a password for the beats_system user via
the change password API (or Kibana UI)
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@6087d3a18e
This commit adds the manage_index_templates permission to the kibana_system role that is used by
the kibana system user. This is needed due to an upcoming feature in kibana where a index template
will be used to create the saved objects index.

This changes the validation criteria we use for user and role
names in the file realm, native realm, and the
realm-agnostic code in x-pack security. The new criteria is:
A valid username's length must be at least 1 and no more than 1024
characters. It may not contain leading or trailing whitespace. All
characters in the name must be be alphanumeric (`a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`),
printable punctuation or symbols in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Latin_(Unicode_block)[Basic Latin (ASCII) block],
or the space character.

This built-in watcher_admin role is able to execute all watcher actions,
read the watch history indices and read the watches index
index. The watcher_user role allows to GET a watch and to get the stats and thats it.
