Hi,

I created an index that ingests files information from our Windows File Server, and I want to share a report with our users. The challenge of sharing this report is to make sure user can see only the files they own or have read/write permission. My index contains a field called username that includes the domain name like this: %domain%%username%.

Also I know that I can retrieve the authenticated user information using the x-Pack Authenticate API.

GET \_xpack/security/\_authenticate

{  
"username": "domain\username",  
"roles": [  
"admins",  
"superuser"  
],  
"full\_name": null,  
"email": null,  
"metadata": {  
"ldap\_dn": "...,  
"ldap\_groups": [  
...  
},  
"enabled": true  
}

So my question is: Can I filter my report based on the authenticated user information?

Thank you.
