[Add the built-in user to Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-started-kibana-user.html) > > > Kibana version: 7.8 BC1 > Elasticsearch version: 7.8 BC1 > Server OS version: macOS catalina > Browser version: chrome latest > Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from...
