Hey,  
I am a newbie to this field and have very recently started looking  
Elastic Search. I am having some trouble with it. This is what I am doing,  
I am trying to fetch logs from client servers to a centralized server using  
Logstash and then indexing them through ElasticSearch. I am using Kibana  
for the UI.  
This is working fine for me.  
Now what I need is that when a customer(client) tries to index logs he can  
only view his logs and not the logs of all the clients. Thus I need to  
manage permissions for all the customers and then the admin can view logs  
from all of them. How can i manage to do this. i may not be clear with it,  
please ask for any details if needed.  
Thanks in advance for your help.
