Hi,

I'm really new using this incredible tool. I installed kibana in my test server and some questions came up.

1º Is it possible to give access to some data deppending on the user? for example, user A can only see data from machines with id=A\*\*\* etc

2º Is it possible to assign accounts, users, rols, etc?

Sorry abut these questions, but i'm really new on that

Thank's  
Eduard

Hey @ecabanas, if you're specifically looking at filtering access to the underlying data, this is provided by the X-Pack Security plugin and the [Field and Document Level Security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/field-and-document-access-control.html)

Kibana will provide you a user-interface to managing the Users/Roles/Privileges that are stored in Elasticsearch. I'd recommend starting with the following [guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-security.html) which will walk you through securing Elasticsearch and Kibana
