Summary
This PR addresses #6683 with the following changes:
deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/_snippets/default-snapshot-repository.md(new): shared snippet that explains the default snapshot repository, how to set or change it from the Repositories list and from the add/edit forms, the Default badge, the constraints (cannot be removed, read-only and URL repositories cannot be default), and the privilege required to use the set-as-default controls.deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/self-managed.md: adds aSet the default snapshot repositorysubsection that includes the shared snippet, scoped tostack: ga 9.5.deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/elastic-cloud-hosted.md: adds the sameSet the default snapshot repositorysubsection, scoped tostack: ga 9.5.deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/_snippets/restore-snapshot-common-prerequisites.md: adds acluster:admin/settings/updatebullet to the cluster privileges list, scoped tostack: ga 9.5, so readers onself-managed.md,elastic-cloud-hosted.md, andrestore-snapshot.mdsee the prerequisite upfront.Scope notes
The issue mentioned serverless availability, but
xpack.snapshot_restore.enabledis set tofalseinconfig/serverless.yml— the Snapshot and Restore Kibana UI is not exposed in serverless, so the new content is scoped to stack 9.5+ only.The Kibana UI behavior described here applies to all stack deployment types where Snapshot and Restore is available (self-managed, {{ech}}, {{ece}}, {{eck}}). Only
self-managed.mdandelastic-cloud-hosted.mdcurrently document this Kibana workflow, so those are the only pages updated. ECE and ECK platform-level repository management is unchanged and is documented elsewhere.Resolves
Closes #6683
