Hi everyone.
I'm using Kibana and ES with Kubernetes in my own cluster. I would like to have an only read dashboard (accessible from outside) without having credentials.
All I've read about that is about _Roles_ and _xpack.security.enabled = false_ but I dont really know how to mix both features, because I dont want to have credentials (_xpack.security.enabled = false_) but I also want to configure roles.
In summary, I need to share my dashboards without edition permissions to the people outside.
How can I do it?
Thanks for reading.

It seems like you need something like this: [Enabling anonymous access | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/anonymous-access.html)
