Hi,

Is there a way to auto filter the dashboard based on the user logged in ?  
When a user 'A' logged in, the dashboard should be updated based on the filter -\> User='A'.

Hi @sunitha.eswaraiah,

There isn't a way in Kibana to filter a dashboard based on the user that is logged in. Creating a dashboard per user by using the clone feature may be the best approach.

If you don't want the user to access data from other users, document level security in Elasticsearch would be the better solution (paid feature): [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/document-level-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/document-level-security.html).

Thanks very much @mikecote ! Document level security solved my use case 👍
