I have imported data with an index. I now want to create a user account with read only access to the dashboard.
I've created a new user and role and granted read access to the index, but when I login to Kibana I don't see anything and I don't get any errors either.

This sounds like more of a security configuration issue so I've moved this over to the X-Pack forum.
