I want to use `server.auth.scheme` to intercept request, and modify the payload before elasticsearch handle it. But cannot get the payload.

My ultimate goal is to only allow users to get their own data, so I want to add filters to es query, is there any other way?

It sounds like xpack security would do the trick for your ultimate goal- Unless you are talking about saved objects in .kibana. In that case they’ll have to wait for RBAC - You can follow/subscribe to the ticket and its progress here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19723](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19723)  
I’m not too sure about the interception....Maybe if there was a reverse proxy in front of ES this might be possible ….?

I will get back to u if I have more insights into this.

Thanks
