* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the `manage_ilm`
cluster privilege to use this API. You must also have the `manage` index
privilege on all indices being managed by `policy`. All operations executed by
{ilm} for a policy are executed as the user that put the latest version of a
policy. For more information, see <<security-privileges>>.

replaced and the policy version is incremented.

previous versions.
