This privilege relies on....
It seems to me that the implication here is that when you have only create_doc privilege, you cannot use the index or bulk APIs successfully unless you use one of the three options below. If that's true, I don't think we're making that dependency clear enough. I'd suggest changing "the op_type can be set to create..." to something like "...you must set the op_type to create..."

When you index a document (with no '_id'), then the 'op_type' is set to 'create' internally. I think the implication is correct here but open for other suggestions. Thank you.

Perhaps something more like you must ensure that the op_type is set to create ?

The backport PR seems to have been merged. I'm therefore removing the backport pending label here. Please shout if this is incorrect |
The documentation was added in #47584 but the behavior was changed which did not reflect in the documentation. This commit removes the note that is not needed anymore.
