I have created a new user in Kibana and granted the following roles.

 ![37%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/3/03708e32886c9157a4e55576bfbafa99bc377cd7.png)  
The role "elastic\_role" is a new role. It has the following priviledges.  
 ![16%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/c/7c6a61e19157e8b3891fe0a209fb4d9dc9b869ea.png)  
I expected to be able to query all data using these roles and priviledges but I am getting an empty Kibana dashboard. Please let me know what is missing.

Looks like you have not granted access to any fields. As the callout explains, if you don't grant access to fields this user won't be able to see any data.
