How is RBAC handled in Kibana on AWS ? Would it needs to be integrated with AD ?

Are you referring to AWS ES service or self-hosting on AWS?

If you enable Elastic Stack security (commercial feature), this handles RBAC and controls access to spaces.

If it is about X-Pack, it is enabled by default on ELK stack 5.0+ [[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-security.html)]. So does it mean that the users/groups who r already part of the AD, could be easily integrated ?
