+:::{note}
+This entitlement is rarely necessary. Your plugin should use {{es}} thread pools and executors (see `Plugin#getExecutorBuilders`) instead of creating and managing its own threads. Plugins should avoid modifying thread name, priority, daemon state, and context class loader when executing on ES threadpools.

 IMPORTANT: this patching mechanism is intended to be used **only** for emergencies; once a missing entitlement is identified, the fix needs to be applied to the codebase, by raising a PR or submitting a bug via Github so that the bundled policies can be fixed.

+### How to migrate from a Java Security Manager Policy to an entitlement policy
 
 Translating Java Security Permissions to Entitlements is usually not too difficult;
 - many permissions are not used anymore. The Entitlement system is targeting sensitive actions we identified as crucial to our code; any other permission is not checked anymore. Also, we do not have  any entitlement related to reflection or access checks: Elasticsearch runs modularized, and we leverage and trust the Java module mechanism to enforce access and visibility.
