Hi our customers are accessing the kibana dashboard in read only mode and they are trying to download the Raw CSV but they get only 1 number (same as the formatted CSV) It seems like they cannot download the entire raw data set. isn't that a bug? I mean the option for Raw CSV is offered to read only user - why they cannot download the entire raw data set? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/b/0bfc016ba94d5637e0444359e58c8fe525b4e18b.png) ---

The method being used to download the CSV data is applied only to the visualization they are inspecting. It looks like that visualization is a Metric which has the purpose of calculating a single number. > why they cannot download the entire raw data set Try adding a saved search panel which will show the raw data in a table similar to the Discover app. A search panel in a dashboard has a "Download CSV" option which will download all the data that can be found within the dashboard's filters. The read-only user must have privileges to create CSV Downloads in the Dashboard app, which can be set up using Kibana Application privileges. See [Configure reporting in Kibana | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-reporting.html#grant-user-access) on how to set up Reporting to use Kibana Application privileges. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/b/5b2f50cada8eff1013bd099c20645ac916a720ea.png) ---
