Hi,

I'm running ELK 5.3 with gold licence and i figure out that normal user with kibana\_user role can now access to "Management"-\>"Avanced settings" and modify all the values.  
They can also go to Management-\>Index Patterns then delete an index if they want.  
This behavior appeared after have renew my licence.  
Any idea ?

Hi gnulux,

Since you have gold license, shouldn't you also have access to dedicated support from us? The quickest way to get support with this would be through your support engineer!

I think that person can also look into your license and see what has changed.
