Hi Melissa, 1. You can authenticate a user via their Google account by putting Kibana behind a proxy which uses Google Sign-in or the Google Oauth API. 2. Kibana doesn't support object-level security yet, but it's something we're working on. Please feel free to follow [this issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/18473) to stay apprised of progress. Thanks, CJ ---
