Hey @Francisca_Lima,

Passing auth through to an embedded Kibana isn't something that's directly supported at the moment. Most users end up creating a reverse-proxy to Kibana, which itself includes authentication credentials to Kibana. See this link for an example using Nginx: [Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/4)
