Hi @yarooski - thank you for using Elastic Security! You will need to ensure that you are logging in as a user who has all of the required permissions for the signals index. After logged in as a user with the required permissions, you need to visit the detections page to enable the engine. Take a look at this documentation: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/detections-permissions-section.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/detections-permissions-section.html) Especially, take a look at the "Enable Detections" section as it has details on the permissions you must have when you visit the detections page. Additionally, take a look at this discussion thread which troubleshoots some similar issues. [SIEM detection engine is not getting started](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/siem-detection-engine-is-not-getting-started/248910/8) Let me know if that helps, thanks! - Kevin --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-detections-permissions-issues/257751)._
