Hi all, I'm trying to bind a role with a specific index.

If I select the index-specific regex from the proposed list, then I get a 403 Forbidden error when a POST is sent to es\_admin/.kibana/index-pattern/\_search?stored\_fields=.  
If I insert "\*" then everything works fine.  
Do you have any suggestion?

A few questions about this:

1. What version of Kibana are you using?
2. What user are you using to make these changes and what roles are assigned to it?
3. Are you trying to edit a role currently assigned to that user?

1. 5.2.2
2. Elastic superuser.
3. No, it's a new role assigned to a new user

That URL looks a bit strange. Can you provide the exact URL that is being used? If you want to mask out the hostname, that's OK, but I'd like to see the rest of it verbatim.
