Is there a way in Kibana 6.5.1 to give a user access to the Share in Kibana\_dashboard\_only\_user?  
I'd like to give my users the ability to generate a PDF. I don't see any security issues if they already have the ability to read the data they have access to. Why not the Share PDF?

Currently creating a PDF report actually creates documents in the internal .kibana\* indices, which why this isn't enabled for dashboard only users. If you'd like, you can open an enhancement request on our GitHub repo for this functionality.
