Managed data views permissions and duplication instructions (#3370)
This PR: - adds mention of "managed" data views to the permissions section of the the data views page - adds instructions for duplicating a managed data view, since the duplicate option isn't available from everywhere in Kibana Closes: elastic/kibana#223451 @christineweng @davismcphee let me know if you think this is clear enough. I don't think it's super valuable to mention this in every app's documentation given that the UI is pretty self-explanatory in this case, but if you think otherwise, please let me know. --------- Co-authored-by: Benjamin Ironside Goldstein <[email protected]>

Some data views are exclusively configured and **managed** by Elastic. You can view and use these managed data views, but you can't edit them. If you'd like to use a modified version of a managed data view, you can duplicate it and edit that new copy as needed. To do this:

1. Open the {{kib}} application where you want to use the data view. For example, **Discover** or **Lens**.

:::{note}
691+
The duplication operation isn't available from the **Data Views** management page.

2. In the data view selection menu, select the managed data view that you want to duplicate.
695+
696+
3. Still in the data view selection menu, select **Manage this data view**. A flyout with more details about the data view opens, and indicates that you can't edit it directly.

5. Finalize your edits, then select **Save data view to Kibana** or **Use without saving**, depending on your needs. By saving it to {{kib}}, you can retrieve it and use it again later.
