With superuser all the infrastructure stuff is OK (logs & metrics).  
With a different user (who has privileges to Infrastructure UI + all privileges to metricbeat\* indices) the basic UI looks OK, but the "Metric Explorer" and "Metrics UI" does not provide any data.  
Which additional privileges should I provide?

By default the indices which are used by the Infrastructure UI are defined in `xpack.infra.sources.default.logAlias` and `xpack.infra.sources.default.metricAlias` within the `kibana.yml` file.

If you have set those values to something, you will want to grant those users read access to them. If not, they default to `filebeat-*,kibana_sample_data_logs*` and `metricbeat-*`.

You can find the rest of the Metrics settings available here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.7/infrastructure-ui-settings-kb.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.7/infrastructure-ui-settings-kb.html)

Thanks, but that is not the case.  
These are the privileges:

And these are the space privileges:

And the user with this role still cannot get data on the "Metrics explorer" nor on the "Metrics page" of the "Infrastructure" - while the superuser can see the metrics.  
I guess it should be some privileges issue, but I do not know what.
