Hi,

I have created the new user in Kibana via kibana UI. But i am unable to login with that id.

Getting Error as:- {"statusCode":403,"error":"Forbidden","message":"Forbidden"}

Note:- I am able to login with System users (ie., Elastic, Kibana etc.,)

Which roles did you assign this user?

Did you add [Kibana Admin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.11/xpack-security-authorization.html)?

I don't know if this would cause your issue but you don't need `kibana_system` role.

If removing that doesn't work can you post your user/role that you created?
