Hello, would you know if it is possible to hide certain Index Patterns for users in discovery if they do not have the permission to view the indexes? Thank you. Best Regards. ---

Index pattern is kibana function and not Elasticsearch function. So it is not controled by index priviledges. You can use [Space](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-spaces.html) to separete index patterns set. ---
