Hey everyone,

I have created a user with the role: _kibana\_dashboard\_only\_user_  
And limited its access to specific documents and indices.

Works like a charm! (little hurdle, fixed by removing `{ "query":` from the DSL query)

I assumed (wrongly) that the user would still be able to change the password.  
Nope, so I thought it needed the default _kibana\_user_ .  
Nope, I can only change the password of the user from the Management tab.  
When I log in as the user I cannot change its password.

We are running Version 6.1.1.

So the question, how can I get the benefits of the _kibana\_dashboard\_only\_user_ AND that the user can change its own password?

Thanks in advance!
