I created custom roles in kibana  
dashboard users .. which is Dashboards only role  
dashboard creators .. which has privileges to create dashboards

if user is part of dashboard users as well as dashboard creators ... "dashboard user" overwrites "dashboard creators" and when creators logs in, they can only see dashboard

any way to fix this?

Can you provide the configuration for dashboard creators role?  
Can you provide the configuration for a fictional user that has both roles?
