Probably need more details about what you are trying to do to give you a proper answer. However, as a guess, I would say maybe you have enabled security in Elasticsearch and not provided Kibana with the credentials to connect? Or, maybe you are logging into Kibana as a user with limited permissions and then trying an operation against an index you don't have rights to? ---
