The Security functionality is only available as a paid-for feature.

It was introduced in Elasticsearch 1.0, but that is no longer supported.

By default the active license level is a Basic one, you may need to active a Platinum trial license in Kibana - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-licenses.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-licenses.html)
