[kibana space] configure xpack Dashboards only roles for multiples space through API or config file

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi eveyrone,

we have 78 spaces and we need to assign a tunned role to the " Dashboards only roles" on kibana "advanced" config on each space.

Could it be done through the config file or API ? I'm seeing nothing on doc.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Update:

For who whant to manage Space's "Advanced settings" :

Get the "config" object with the ID of your KIBANA version :

GET http://KIBANA_URL/s/MY_SPACE/api/saved_objects/_find?type=config

{
"page": 1,
"per_page": 20,
"total": 5,
"saved_objects": [
    {
        "type": "config",
        "id": "6.8.2",
        "attributes": {
            "buildNum": 20415,
            "defaultIndex": "7f91a8c0-df79-11e9-9d78-9fd1480e4f36"
        },
        "updated_at": "2019-09-25T09:47:34.593Z",
        "version": "WzQ0LDFd"
    }
}

Perform a UPDATE (PUT) with the modified attribute :

PUT http://KIBANA_URL/s/MY_SPACE/api/saved_objects/config/6.8.2
{
    "attributes": {
        "xpackDashboardMode:roles": [
            "YOUR_ROLE"
        ]
    }
}

Hi @piellick,

the advanced settings are also a saved object and be manipulated using the saved objects API. The "type" of this saved object is config.

To retrieve objects from different spaces the space name has to be prepended to the path, e.g. GET /s/demo/api/saved_objects/_find

Hi @flash1293 thanks for your Help.

i tried with this one :
/api/saved_objects/_find?type=config

but i could retrive the config from "default" space, no select space ?

{"page":1,"per_page":20,"total":1,"saved_objects":[{"type":"config","id":"6.8.2","attributes":{"buildNum":20415,"xpackDashboardMode:roles":["pouet"],"defaultIndex":"414dd440-df78-11e9-9d78-9fd1480e4f36"},"updated_at":"2019-09-25T09:46:54.337Z","version":"WzQyLDFd"}]}

I'm on Elastic 6.8

To get the config from another space, prepend the name of the space to the api call:
/s/<NAME OF THE SPACE>/api/saved_objects/_find?type=config

        "id": "6.8.2",
        "attributes": {
            "buildNum": 20415,
            "defaultIndex": "7f91a8c0-df79-11e9-9d78-9fd1480e4f36"
        },
        "updated_at": "2019-09-25T09:47:34.593Z",
        "version": "WzQ0LDFd"
    },
    {
        "type": "config",
        "id": "a205e540-df94-11e9-9d78-9fd1480e4f36",
        "attributes": {
            "xpackDashboardMode:roles": [
                "MYROLE_03"
            ]
        },
        "updated_at": "2019-09-25T13:01:47.796Z",
        "version": "WzUwLDFd"
    },
    {
        "type": "config",
        "id": "f53e5e90-df94-11e9-9d78-9fd1480e4f36",
        "attributes": {
            "xpackDashboardMode:roles": [
                "MYROLE_03"
            ]
        },
        "updated_at": "2019-09-25T13:04:07.417Z",
        "version": "WzUxLDFd"
    },
    {
        "type": "config",
        "id": "4246d410-df95-11e9-9d78-9fd1480e4f36",
        "attributes": {
            "xpackDashboardMode:roles": [
              "MYROLE_03"
            ]
        },
        "updated_at": "2019-09-25T13:06:16.657Z",
        "version": "WzU0LDFd"
    },
    {
        "type": "config",
        "id": "fep03",
        "attributes": {
            "xpackDashboardMode:roles": [
               "MYROLE_03"
            ]
        },
        "updated_at": "2019-09-25T13:24:03.399Z",
        "version": "WzU4LDFd"
    }
]

}

But on my KIBANA dashboard i still have the "kibana_dashboard_only_user" role. How we link the config object to be used ?

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Hi @piellick

two things:

  • Did you try to modify the existing config object rather than creating a new one?
  • You also have to assign the changed role to the user accounts in question for this to take effect

You right !

I just had to do an update on the existing object, referer with the version of kibana (id: 6.8.2)

Thanis a lot @flash1293
