I have a demo index which contains State as keyword, the data obviously contains multiple records for the same State.  
I have users with names that are actual State names in the data.  
eg State: Alabama and user full name : Alabama  
State: Florida and user full name : Florida

Q: How to write the Granted Documents Query from Kibana Role Creation menu, where I can just filter the document which contains the State : user full name?

I have tried this:  
{"term": {"ResidingState.keyword":"{\_user.full\_name}"}}

but the visualization is not showing up, " No results displayed because all values equal 0." is the message shown up in the visualization.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Have you read through our [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/field-and-document-access-control.html#document-level-security)? I'm sure you will find the DLS section very helpful. You can do this with a [templated query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/field-and-document-access-control.html#templating-role-query), like:

```auto
PUT _xpack/security/role/test_dls
{
  "indices" : [
    {
      "names" : ["your_index_name_here"],
      "privileges" : ["read"],
      "query" : {
        "template" : {
          "source" : {
            "term" : { "ResidingState" : "{{_user.full_name}}" }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

```
