Some actions that start with "indices:" are actually handled by cluster privileges in ES security (e.g. indices:admin/template/*) In elastic#60357 and elastic#66900 we added better context information for the error messages that are generated when an action is denied, but the generation of that message did not correctly classify actions between cluster and index level privileges. This change does 2 things: 1. It fixes the code that determines whether an action is handled by a cluster privilege or an index privilege 2. Includes the words "cluster" and "index" in the error message so that classification is clear to the reader The latter change is not directly related to the issue being resolved, but in the course of fixing the issue it became evident that the message lacked clarity because it did not tell the reader what type of privilege would be needed to resolve the access denied issue.

Some actions that start with "indices:" are actually handled by
cluster privileges in ES security (e.g. indices:admin/template/*)
In #60357 and #66900 we added better context information for the
error messages that are generated when an action is denied, but the
generation of that message did not correctly classify actions between
cluster and index level privileges.
This change does 2 things:
cluster privilege or an index privilege
that classification is clear to the reader
The latter change is not directly related to the issue being resolved,
but in the course of fixing the issue it became evident that the
message lacked clarity because it did not tell the reader what type of
privilege would be needed to resolve the access denied issue.
