Hi,  
We have an Elastic Search / Kibana instance newly deployed.  
User "admin" has the role "all\_access" ---\> which corresponds to Backend Role : "admin".  
So ideally when we login with admin account we should have all privileges since this is super user.  
But when we login with admin user we could see only 3 items under "Management".

Index Patterns  
Saved Objects  
Advanced Settings

Even 'snapshotrestore' and other items are missing ? any specific reason why we are not able to see other items other than the above 3 ? ![Kibana_01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/d/5d55f8b7ed9aa9badb00becf429398a1bcddec7d.png)

Can you share the output of :

`curl -u admin 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/security/_authenticate?pretty'`

and

`curl -u admin 'http://localhost:9200` ( so that we can see the version you are running ).

Also this is handy : GET /api/security/role

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/role-management-api-get.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/role-management-api-get.html)  
This will give you the roles and privs o the user associated- and you can check if this admin user really has superuser privs or not.

Let us know if u face more issues. Kibana logs should help.

Thanks  
Rashmi
