Kibana User Session data in query

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I have a question that I’m having trouble finding the answer to elsewhere.

I would like to create dashboards that customize the data based on the specific user logged in. To do so, I need to provide the logged-in user’s name/id to the underlying search query the dashboard is running.

How do I go about doing this?

Hi there,

what do you mean with customized data? Different fields of the same documents or totally different documents?

Anyway, if you want to somehow have a way to differentiate what a given user (or better role) can see, buying the xpack license you'll unlock the access to specific fields or read access to specific documents.

I have xpack, but the role constraints don't help. I don't want to create a role per user. I need to join the data in my index to only return documents matching the current user logged in.

e.g something like - document.user : $currentSessionUser

Mhmh I don't think you can do that, to be honest.

Anyway, if you have the xpack you can ask the Support and be sure of it.

Thanks @Fabio,
If you have any support link please provide me. where i can get help and ask question.

If you have a valid xpack license you should be able to access this and proceed with the support request.
