If we use authorization and to prevent inaccuracy in the data for authorization then get the error
Code: 
XFES\Elasticsearch\RequestException: action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [my_user] src/addons/XFES/Elasticsearch/Api.php:367
Code: 
#0 /var/www/addons/XFES/Elasticsearch/Api.php(279): XFES\Elasticsearch\Api->request('put', 'xf_db', '{\n    "settings...')
#1 /var/www/addons/XFES/Service/Optimizer.php(87): XFES\Elasticsearch\Api->createIndex(Array)

#8 /var/www//src/XF.php(319): XF\App->run()
#9 /var/www/admin.php(13): XF::runApp('XF\\Admin\\App')
#10 {main}
Would like to prevent this behavior and to see the normal error notification
 
Well you're requesting an action that requires you have permissions to create an index and you don't have that permission. I don't think an exception is really unreasonable here. The same thing would happen if you were installing or upgrading XF and didn't have permissions in MySQL.

Similar to MySQL, locking down permissions in ES would be an advanced feature so you would generally be responsible for ensuring that you have the permissions necessary for the actions you're trying to take.
