HI all,

I've been looking at the kibana\_dashboard\_only\_user to see if I can restrict the user from not doing filters. So based on predefined filters on the visuals it should draw the reports. What I found is that dashboard only shows the dashboard as-is but you still need to add the specific index to read from (ok so read only on that too) But then still the user is allowed to click on spy glasses or use the top search bar to implement filters. How can I disable this?

Thanks,  
Jeroen

This isn't currently something you can do, but it sounds like what you're requesting is related to these two issues:
