Hi,

My ES version is :1.5.2  
shield is:2.3  
kibana:4.1.11

[1.in](http://1.in) /etc/elasticsearch/shield/roles.yml i have edited predefined role in the below way to only read the index '.marvel-2016.08.30' through the kibana  
kibana4:  
cluster:  
- cluster:monitor/nodes/info  
- cluster:monitor/health  
indices:  
'.marvel-2016.08.30':  
- indices:admin/mappings/fields/get  
- indices:admin/validate/query  
- indices:data/read/search  
- indices:data/read/msearch  
- indices:admin/get  
'.kibana':  
- indices:admin/exists  
- indices:admin/mapping/put  
- indices:admin/mappings/fields/get  
- indices:admin/refresh  
- indices:admin/validate/query  
- indices:data/read/get  
- indices:data/read/mget  
- indices:data/read/search  
- indices:data/write/delete  
- indices:data/write/index  
- indices:data/write/update  
- indices:admin/create

2.created user  
bin/shield/esusers useradd A -r kibana4 -p pwd

in kibana.yml added  
kibana\_elasticsearch\_username: A  
kibana\_elasticsearch\_password: pwd

now when i go to the kibana iam logging in to that user A ,Hence my user can can only view index '.marvel-2016.08.30'.

now my requirement is to another user B need to acces only diffferent index '.marvel-2016.08.29'..  
can u do with custom role?..if yes how to create custom roles and add users to kibana
