**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):

I am using 2.7.0 Opensearch, opensearch dashboards in k8s environment.

**Describe the issue** :

From [Getting started - OpenSearch documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/tuning-your-cluster/replication-plugin/getting-started/) it is documented like below

> If you’ve overridden `node.roles` in `opensearch.yml` on the follower cluster, make sure it also includes the `remote_cluster_client` role

Here my question is on follower cluster should all the node roles like cluster manager, data, ingest have remote\_cluster\_client role or on which node role exactly remote\_cluster\_client setting is required?  
I have a scenario where i have dedicated cluster manager nodes, dedicated data nodes etc. So I am not clear on which node to enable this role

For the case above, Please include `remote_cluster_client` role on the nodes containing `cluster manager` and `data nodes` roles
