Hi,

I want to provide user access only to Dashboards. So created a new user through the Management--\> User only with the role cabin\_dashboard\_only\_user. Saved and logged out. I tried to login using that new user account, I couldn't login to Kibana. I am getting this error "Oops! Error. Try again."

Am I missing any setting in configuration files? Anyone has idea?

Thanks.

This is how dashboard\_only mode should be set up. [https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-dashboard-only-mode](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-dashboard-only-mode)  
If the error still persists, could you clear the cache?

Yes, I also created a use granting the role cabin\_dashboard\_user\_only. But when checking the kibana\_dashboard\_user\_only, It looks nn-editable. I logged in as a elastic user something like i attached. Even didn't see the Save and Cancel buttons. Why? ![Kibana_User_Role](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/1/517343b61b6d11bd7cfe43e7550a66980a371117.jpg)

Thanks.
