How can I limit a roles ability to access certain dashboards? Is it possible to let a role only see certain dashboards?

Hi Vishal,

Dashboard only mode lets you give selective access to dashboards. This blogpost should help you getting it set up. Its available in x-pack basic:

> **[Kibana Dashboard Only Mode](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-dashboard-only-mode)**
>
> Ever wish you could share your Kibana dashboards without the risk of someone accidentally deleting or modifying them? Do you want to show off your dashboards without the distraction of unrelated applications and links? In version 6.0 we’re making it...

Our docs: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.0/xpack-dashboard-only-mode.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.0/xpack-dashboard-only-mode.html)

Thanks,  
Bhavya
