Hi,

I want to share my kibana dashborad work with my team without viewing them the left panel and any editing mode.

How can i do the same?

```
* I'm using kibana 6.6 version with 30 days trial package.
* Missing `User Roles` option in `Management` Tab.

```

Thank you!

Dashboard only mode will provide you with a way to provide dashboards in read only mode.

You will need security enabled for dashboard only mode. To enable security, Go to `management` -\> `License management` and click `Start trial`

Once you are using a trial license, then you have to enable security. You can follow these instructions to set up security [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.6/get-started-enable-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.6/get-started-enable-security.html)
