I have different indexes of Elasticsearch and indexes are showing in Kibana too. Now I want to create different roles in Kibana to access different indexes by separate user.  
I am using basic license. Also I can't see the Create Roles option in Kibana \> Management section. I have already enable the security feature in Elasticsearch by  
`xpack.security.enabled: true`.

So, Please help how can I create the roles and segregate indexes on the basis of roles.

You cannot use Security with Basic license in v7.0.0.  
Use 7.1.0 or later.
