Hi  
I am implementing role based access for each user such as admin, dev, test etc and I was wondering how I can logout from Kibana ?

Authentication is not provided by Kibana, though it is available through [Shield](https://www.elastic.co/products/shield).  
Normally you would store that information in a cookie, and the act of logging out would involve deleting the cookie.
