We have authentication setup on Kibana, which means we need to have username and password in order to access visualizations. I am wondering if it is possible to have the option to let users access some graphs without login , and some graphs need login to view them?

Hello Kenneth,

This is possible from 7.11+ using anonymous access for a space. See the documentation [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-authentication.html#anonymous-authentication).

Regards,  
Aaron

FYI: A little more info I received from our security team: " TL;DR there are lots of ways to set up anonymous authentication, but the important bit here is to make sure that the anonymous user is assigned a `role` that only allows them to have the right access to the particular space that you want"
