Elastic dashboard in Kiosk mode

[gnatola (Greg)]

I have a dashboard read-only user. Is there a way to configure this dashboard in kiosk mode so the user gets automatically logged in? Thanks.

Hi @gnatola,

I think anonymous access is potentially what you need to automatically login a user using that read-only user.

Let us know if that solves your issue.

Hi, Carly,

Thanks for the information. We have a cloud deployment of Elastic. There is no .YML file for me to edit. Is there any other solution?

Hi @gnatola,

The settings can still be applied on a cloud deployment using the user settings option. So you can enter the required settings for anonymous access for kibana.yml there:

Hope that helps!
