I logged into kibana as superuser, but I am not able to view the indicies that are present in the cluster. However I can see the index patterns and could query those patterns in Discover tab. I am wondering what is restricting the super user to view those indicies in index management?

can you post a screenshot of the index management page? Normally superuser can see all indices, even system ones (you need to toggle a radio button for the system indices).
