Error while installing Kibana search guard plugin

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi All,

i am getting this below error while installing the search guard plugin for kibana.

i am using kibana version 7.2.0.

I have installed the search guard plugin for elastic search but getting issues while configuring the kibana.

if i am trying as a non root user also i can't install as many files are owned by root so data can't be written to kibana.

Why not just use the free Security functionality we provide in 7.3 and above?

i can't upgrade to 7.3 that's one constraint

second in the post says it support 7.1 ,then it should support 7.2

Ok. We don't provide support for this plugin sorry.
