How to restrict access to an external plugin using privileges?

[josemartinez (jose)]

Hello.
I have created a plugin as indicated here.

How can I restrict access to the plugin with privileges?

This means that only the superuser can view the plugin and that in the menu it is only visible by the superuser.

How can I restrict access to the plugin with privileges

You will have to use the Kibana Role management for this. Roles are a collection of privileges that allow you to perform actions in Kibana and Elasticsearch. Users are not directly granted privileges, but are instead assigned one or more roles that describe the desired level of access. When you assign a user multiple roles, the user receives a union of the roles’ privileges. This means that you cannot reduce the privileges of a user by assigning them an additional role. You must instead remove or edit one of their existing roles.
