client.indices.refresh Authorization Exception

See original GitHub issue

Since enabling security on our new Elasticsearch cluster (6.6.1) client.indices.refresh is throwing an Authorization Exception.

E.g.

client.indices.refresh({
    index: 'my-index-name'
}

The user in question has a role with the following privileges…

"privileges": [
    "manage",
    "read",
    "view_index_metadata",
    "write"
]

Other operations like client.search and client.index` are working fine.

Have I found a bug?

If I have, would you be amenable to me submitting a PR to fix it?

I just realised I should have checked the version while walking the dog and got my phone out to say so. Will check that and curling when I get back.
