I am running Elastic Stack 7.9.2 and want to enable anonymous access to a dashboard. I have created the anonymous user and role in Kibana and configured Elasticsearch for anonymous user access. However, I can't figure out how to enable anonymous access into Kibana.

Any ideas?

Hello,

As you've probably seen this is not yet possible: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/18331](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/18331)
