Hide the `.async-search-*` in Security by making it a restricted index namespace. The namespace is hard-coded. To grant privileges on restricted indices, one must explicitly toggle the `allow_restricted_indices` flag in the indices permission in the role definition. As is the case with any other index, if a certain user lacks all permissions for an index, that index is effectively nonexistent for that user.
