Hi there,
if have a valid commercial (not basic) license for elasticsearch. Nevertheless I have no security menu in kibana under stack management as I know it.
This is an unexpected behaviour.
Detail: 1-node-monitoring cluster // v.7.8.1
license version: v5
Any ideas? Perhaps is the license too old to be compatible with version 7.8?
Any help appraciated!
cheers
Stefano

After about 30 minutes the messing part just appeared by itself.
I did before refreshed of the page, but that had no effect.
cheers
