[Watcher] Improve document around security privileges #101291

Open alisonelizabeth opened 3 years ago

alisonelizabeth commented 3 years ago

The watcher UI docs should be updated to clarify the security privileges necessary to use watcher UI.

In addition to the manage_watcher or monitor_watcher cluster privilege, the user must also have read access to .watches and .watcher-history-* indices.
