Required permissions

edit

To create tags, you must meet the minimum requirements.

  • Access to Tags requires the Tag Management Kibana privilege. To add the privilege, open the main menu, and then click Stack Management > Roles.
  • The read privilege allows you to assign tags to the saved objects for which you have write permission.
  • The write privilege enables you to create, edit, and delete tags.

Having the Tag Management Kibana privilege is not required to view tags assigned on objects you have read access to, or to filter objects by tags from the global search.
