Hi all,

I'd like to create a dashboard showing different data according to the user logged in kibana: is it possible? For example user1 can see only documents with country field set to "USA", etc. What kind of feature should I use? Is Document Level Security necessary?

Thanks a lot in advance for any clue.

Hi,  
Yes Document Level Security is exactly what you need.  
On the dashboard only data the user is allowed to read is displayed.

So setup Document Level Security is the best way to go.
