I'm trying to follow wiki [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/7.1/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/7.1/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment) to setup kibana development environment

i'm able to run elasticsearch locally with

```auto
yarn es snapshot

```

i can also run kibana with

```auto
yarn start

```

after i started kibana local environment. i tried to open [http://localhost:5601/](http://localhost:5601/) via browser.  
it got redirect to [http://localhost:5601/ykl](http://localhost:5601/ykl) and return back a 403 error response

```auto
{"statusCode":403,"error":"Forbidden","message":"Forbidden"}

```

i'm not able to access homepage, but i'm able to open status page via [http://localhost:5601/ykl/status#?\_g=()](http://localhost:5601/ykl/status#?_g=())

what did I do wrong here?

how could i correct this to get access to homepage? by change config file or start kibana with different launch params?

could someone help?

I found answer myself.  
just use another default user account which has permission, actually, i login with `elastic` and it works
