I need user management in kibana. I want to create multiple user accounts with roles and privileges. Currently in kibana it is not showing user management option. Please provide all steps to create custom users with roles and privilege.

Do you have X-Pack installed to both Elasticsearch and Kibana? Which versions are you using?
