I just installed Kibana version 5.5 and am also using xpack. I currently cannot access the discover tab and i cannot create dashboards. I can access all the other tabs and create visualizations. I am using the elastic user to access kibana.

What happens when you try to access Discover or create a dashboard? Do you get a particular error (either on the page or in your browser's dev console)?
