Hi,  
In my previous work i never used shield to protect my kibana. But now i'm using shield concept to protect the kibana by using two type of username and role. I have two credential, one is admin and another is user.  
By defining role admin can access all the screen(dashboard,viz,discover,setting) and even admin can perform read,write and delete. In user scenario i have restricted all the write and delete permission, but user can view the discover, setting and visualization. Is it any way to restricted the user to view the dashboard alone instead of viewing all the thing in kibana.

Shield+Kibana integration does not currently provide view level restrictions -- integration works on data only.

Here is one related issue in the Kibana repo: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4453](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4453)
