Hi all.  
We have elastic cloud 7.10.2 and I'd like to create users with only access Kibana dashboards and in read only mode

Also the dashboards that I create/update as an admin must be the same the read only users in Kibana see.

Is that possible? Any guidance/docs/tips would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi

You could create a role for such a user assigning only read privileges for Kibana. Have a look here:

> **[Kibana privileges | Kibana Guide \[7.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.11/kibana-privileges.html#kibana-feature-privileges)**

Best,  
Matthias

Thanks Matt.  
Actually what I ve done is creating a role with the right permissions and bond it to a SPACE with only access to kibana.  
So far so good
