Hi  
I have generated few dashboard using different ES indices, Is it possible to show only specific dashboard for a particular user with either read or read/edit option ?

What i guess is not possible after going though this [`link`](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/restricting-authorizing-kibana-dashboards-to-a-specific-user/86612). Any new plugins or developments to do this since the post is 2 years old ?

Regards

Please take a look at Kibana Spaces with Role Base Security you should be able to accomplish what you are trying to do with additional configuration.

@stephenb Thanks for the pointer. Looks like i can achieve what i want to do using Kibana spaces although i have not implemented it. Will keep posted once i do that.

Thanks again
