Grant no permissions for assemble Visualizations

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello there,

I installed X-Pack for security purposes in my Elastic Stack. I'm now trying to create a role which has read permissions on my data in Elasticsearch to see logs in the Discover and Dashboard section but cannot create, edit or delete any diagrams in the Visualizations section.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks for your help!

Your user needs to have 2 sets of privileges;

  1. The kibana_user role gives the permissions to save objects like a visualization to the .kibana index. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/built-in-roles.html

  2. A role you create and give to the user needs to give read and view_index_metadata privileges on the index with your data (like logstash*).

So your user might have kibana_user and logstash_reader roles.

Regards,
Lee
