I created two users and roles added different index patterns for both. Now, when I login with user1, I'm able to see user2's index pattern and fields. If I edit or add or delete a field, that is appearing to all users. Can I hide user1 from viewing user2's index patterns and its fields? ---

Right now this is not possible in Kibana. The roles will only prevent users from getting data from those indices, but they can still see them. You could use something like 2 different .kibana indices, one for each of the roles, but this will imply 2 different Kibana instances. It's just more work than it's worth it to do it like this. ---
