Hi, I want to know the steps to create multiple Kibana users and roles according to my use case. Ex: case 1: admin user - who can delete create remove anything from the Kibana case 2: user1 - who can query logs and analyze them(only read access) And so on. ---

Hi, I believe you are looking for [Securing access to Kibana | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/tutorial-secure-access-to-kibana.html) tutorial. ---

It's best to use [Securing access to Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-secure-access-to-kibana.html) rather than master 🙂 ---

Hi, @Mikhail_Shustov @warkolm, I cannot find Settings, Roles, Users (as mentioned in [Securing access to Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/tutorial-secure-access-to-kibana.html)) in stack management. Do I need to add any param in the kibana.yml file? ---

@Saishantan_goli What Kibana distribution do you use? Do you have `Security` plugin disabled? ---

If Distribution is version then it is 7.12. How and where to check if the security plugin is enabled or disabled? ---
