Hi All,

I have created a separate user for my end customer, and have restricted his usage to view only Kibana visualization. I have used a filter(Consumer = Mobile). so that he will not be able to view data of any other consumer. However when I logged in with that user I can still cancel filter and view data for all the consumers. Is there a way to lock it.

Thanks in advance

It sounds like you are looking for [document level security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/document-level-security.html) - it allows you to restrict the index access of a specific user to a subset of all documents (defined by an arbitrary query).

You can also configure this from within the Kibana security UI.

Thanks @flash1293 : Is there a way to achieve it with basic license. Thanks in advance.
