My ELK stack stop respecting roles and role mapping. Anyone with a vaild cert can access any Space or index even if they don'tt have that role assigned to them. I upgrade to version 8.11.2 from 8.8.1 last month, but I a I am just noticing this now. I am not sure if they are related. I've tried using the dev tools to clear role cache, user cache and no luck. Any have an idea or suggestion of what I can try next?

@mst3r25 , So you're using PKI auth for kibana? Could you share an example of sanitzed example of a role which is not working?

I am using PKI for auth and it was working fine. I'm not sure when and why it stopped. I am in an enclave I will try to get you an example of one of the roles that is not working.
