Hi All,

Successfully integrated Shield and made all configurations to use `esusers` realm. But it keep saying my `admin` role user is not authorized to perform actions on indices. I'm, using:

Kibana - 4.1  
Elasticsearch - 1.7  
Shield - 1.3.2

And `esusers list` as:  
kibana-admin : admin  
esadmin : admin

When running `$sudo bin/kibana` , getting following error:

```auto

```

Can anyone please sortout what went wrong ?

Hi @Akhil_Sundar,

is shield installed and correctly configured on all of the nodes in your cluster?
