I try to see stack monitoring using the following role in roles.yml my\_user\_role: cluster: ["cluster:monitor/main", "cluster:monitor/xpack/info"] indices: - names: [".monitoring-\*"] privileges: ["read", "read\_cross\_cluster"] run\_as: [" \* "] applications: - application : " \* " privileges : [" \* "] resources : [" \* "] However, there are some links in management -\> kibana folder writeable. How can I make the management -\> kibana links readonly? Thank you, John ---
