I got the solution. Superuser role is not a superuser anymore... 😆  
Go see this : [[Reporting] Implement allowing administrators to manage any report or reporting index · Issue #127881 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/127881) Here is the solution !  
U just have to create a new role and add it to your user. Use dev tool for this.
