We also should update the relevant row in the Beats v Agent comparison table here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/beats-agent-comparison.html

@joshdover can we also document the privileges users need to use Fleet & Elastic Agent? I'm thinking something equivalent to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.16/feature-roles.html. In addition to the Kibana privileges Fleet and Integrations, they also need Kibana privileges for Dashboards. They also need index privileges for common data streams, particularly elastic_agent data streams. They may also need a privilege for the Fleet Server service token. Dede might need some guidance on what these should be.

Hi @jen-huang

We have validated the related links for the docs changes and our observations are shared below:

1. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/install-fleet-managed-elastic-agent.html

• Changes reflected properly under Privileges section :
  "Kibana user with All privileges on Fleet and Integrations. Since many Integrations assets are shared across spaces, users need the Kibana privileges in all spaces."

2. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/beats-agent-comparison.html

• Allow non-superusers to manage assets and agents section is updated with required info as per mentioned under file changed.

3. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.16/feature-roles.html

• No updates were observed at above page for fleet access requirements.

@dedemorton can you please confirm changes to validate on above page.

Thanks
QAS

I'm not sure why item 3 is on this list. We do not document Fleet in the Beats documentation. The other links look right. thanks.
