Add read-only user for Kibana Canvas

[saintjohn]

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to add an user which is granted only for read-only right to Kibana Canvas for security purpose.
I'm using Kibana as well as Elastic Search v7.11.1 with Basic License.

Based on the instruction, I performed as below.
1.Add following line in elasticsearch.yml
xpack.security.enabled: true
2.Configured prompted user/pass with the following command.
elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive
3.Add following line in kibana.yml
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
elasticsearch.password: "<KIBANA_PASSWORD>"

However, I get error message as below when I start ES/Kibana and tries to access Kibana.
{"statusCode":503,"error":"Service Unavailable","message":"License is not available."}

Do I have to use 30-days trial license instead of basic license in order to use the security feature?

Can you post more of the Kibana log please.

Not for the native realm, no.

@warkolm
Thank you, but which logs do you need? What I did is open kibana page via browser and only get that error status codes.

The actual Kibana log, usually in /var/log/kibana.
