Kibana Dashboard Only Mode
editKibana Dashboard Only Mode
editX-Pack gives the ability for admins to limit what certain users see when they log in to Kibana with a
reserved kibana_dashboard_only_user role.
When you assign a user this role, the next time they sign in to Kibana they will only be able to see the Dashboard app, and no editing tools will be available.
If a user is also assigned the reserved superuser role, they will be able to see all of Kibana and have
full access.
The kibana_dashboard_only_user role comes preconfigured with read only permissions on the .kibana index.
If you assign a user the kibana_dashboard_only_user role, along with a role with write permissions on
the .kibana index, they will have write access, even though the controls will remain hidden in the kibana
UI.
For advanced set ups that use a custom Kibana index, advanced configurations are possible.
