Describe the feature:
Allow customized security rules that will provide read-only mode access to the index management feature, leveraging this PR: #67791
Describe a specific use case for the feature:
It's been requested to allow users to search and view indices in the cluster, but without the permissions to do potentially destructive actions on them: like delete, freeze or flush.
The current workaround is really convoluted and involves setting specific cluster privileges and it offers a bad user experience. They can still call the actions like delete, but they'll get a bunch of errors.
