We have created multiple dashboards with one index and multiple document types which belongs to that index. Each document type have two common columns namely org\_id (organization id) and workflow\_id. We have to filter data from visualizations based on the logged organization and particular workflow under that organization. So that we added 2 filters, one is org\_id and another one is workflow\_id. Now we have to hide the org\_id from showing in the filter bar. But it should be applied in the filter and the workflow\_id filter should not be hidden. How we can achieve this functionality? If we need to edit the kibana code , then where we have to change? can anyone guide us? Please reply as soon as possible.  
Thank You in advance!!!

Hi @saafianihan,

I can't think of a way to easily hide filters. It sounds like you want to set up a multi-tenant situation here. If that is the case, I would advise to index the documents of the two organisations into separate indices and use x-pack security to selectively grant access to different users.
