Hi there,

In Kibana there is the page where the reports appear.  
I have been looking for documentation around the access control to these reports.  
this is the page I am referring to:  
app/management/insightsAndAlerting/reporting  
I know I can provide access to the page:

> **[Configure reporting in Kibana | Kibana Guide \[8.6\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.6/secure-reporting.html#grant-user-access)**
>
> A list of the supported authentication mechanisms in Kibana.

The question is, can I apply more fine grained access control (to individual reports) or should we create different spaces ?  
I also hope that giving access to reports does not mean giving access to the indeces that have been used to produce the report?

I also noticed this remark:

> Granting the privilege to generate reports also grants the user the privilege to view their reports in **Stack Management \> Reporting**. Users can only access their own reports.

I want 'the system' to generate reports and make those reports available to end users with a certain role (via role mapping)
