+====
+If you use {ml-features} and your {ml} indices were created before
+{prev-major-version}, you must
+{stack-ov}/stopping-ml.html[stop all {dfeeds} and close all {ml} jobs] before
+you reindex the indices.
+
+If you use {es} {security-features}, before you reindex `.security*` internal
+indices it is a good idea to create a temporary superuser account in the `file`
+realm.
+
+. On a single node, add a temporary superuser account to the `file` realm. For
+example, run the <<users-command,elasticsearch-users useradd>> command:
++
+--
+[source,sh]
+----------------------------------------------------------
+bin/elasticsearch-users useradd <user_name> \
+-p <password> -r superuser
+----------------------------------------------------------
+--
+
+. Use these credentials when you reindex the `.security*` index. That is to say,
+use them to log into {kib} and run the Upgrade Assistant or to call the
+reindex API. You can use your regular administration credentials to
+reindex the other internal indices.
+
+. Delete the temporary superuser account from the file realm. For
+example, run the {ref}/users-command.html[elasticsearch-users userdel] command:
++
+--
+[source,sh]
+----------------------------------------------------------
+bin/elasticsearch-users userdel <user_name>
+----------------------------------------------------------
