Hi Team, How to make kibana UI Access secure with users/password with limited privileges in the basic license, like read-only access, full permission something like this, or any other suggestions? Also, I have another problem, When I'm accessing kibana through IP:5601 on browsers on the local network it's opening without a password which is security concern but when I'm accessing it through publicly it's prompting for a password, is there way to restrict it with a password locally as well. OS- Ubuntu 18.04 server. Thanks for your help in advance. ---

Hi You need to create users and grant them roles with access to specific privileges . You can follow the guide here for more information . [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security.html) For your second q, what license level you are on - on your cluster. Security features have been included in the basic level license, but requires you to be on 6.8 and higher versions.

Hi Rashmi, I have figured it out how to create users/password in elastic search and now it's prompting for user name password for elastic search/kibana but I'm able to login elastic search but when I access KIbana UI by entering user name password it's says "Kibana not start yet". ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/7/67891680cf30582d9c5bdbace244148afb489803.png) But If I made x.pack.security to to false then it's url is working bt elastic search is not prompting for password. any idea? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/3/e32cd1b9398bb1d9da4180b0115160b0bb5aa9a3.png) Elastic search: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/1/11c4ed6094042f26504dca67e7b561cf578c23a1.png) ---
