We have embedded kibana dashboard into our application and do not want to show login page of kibana to the user once the user has already logged-in to the application.
We are using basic license of Elasticsearch.
Can we use service accounts for this scenario? If yes, please let me know how do we achieve this using service accounts.

Hi @HiteshSingh,
You could try making use of an [anonymous authentication](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.9/kibana-authentication.html#anonymous-authentication) and specify the credentials.

In this example, I need to create a service user under Kibana with necessary privileges?

Yes you would create a user profile with username and password, add the roles or entitlements you need and then configure that user as the anonymous user for authentication in your confirm.
