Hello. I am using version 8.4.13 of Elastic and Kibana. I currently access Kibana using the Elastic account. Is it possible to create/use another credential to access Kibana that only has access to view the dashboards? To avoid logging in with an account that has administrative access to the index... Thanks !!! ---
