Are Elasticsearch Security API authenticate responses the same for different logged-in users?

Elastic Security
1

My goal is to retrieve information about logged-in users, and for that, I'm using the Authenticate API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.12] | Elastic API. However, when I log in with different users, all values such as username, roles, etc., are coming out the same. Could I have made a mistake in configuring Kibana?

This is the function;

const user = await clusterClient.asInternalUser.security.authenticate();

Hey @bertugmete! asInternalUser will return the internal kibana user, which explains why you'd be seeing that consistently. What you want instead is asCurrentUser.
