Hi,

I have created a guest user on kibana. Now I want he can view all the graphs under dashboard for a particular index. I tried various options but no luck so far. If i assigned a role "superuser" to guest i am able to see the graphs but I do not want to give this wild privileges to guest user.

Could you please guide me to setup this ?

Thanks  
Niraj

Hey @niraj_pandey, when you created the Guest user, did you assign them a Role which also gives them privileges to read from the Elasticsearch indices that contain the data the Visualizations are based on?
