https://docs.couchbase.com/server/6.0/learn/security/roles.html#xdcr-inbound

I have learned through trial and error that using an XDCR Admin user allows me to create Remote Cluster References and Replications but it doesn't enable actual replication of data. I can see in the Admin Console UI that XDCR Replication is saying that it is "replicating" but no data is showing up in the target bucket. No errors are displayed in the Admin Console when this happens. I have to add XDCR Inbound role to the XDCR Admin user for the target bucket to fix this issue.

My request is that we clearly state in this document for R5, R6 and higher that XDCR Admin and XDCR Inbound roles go together.
