hi, can kibana be used for end-users security wise, without to give them ability to send queries as they like using F12/fiddler etc? ## -- Please update your bookmarks!

​Kibana provides unrestricted access to any index it can see. So unless you are running Shield to limit that, or use aliases, then it's possible users can see data they should not be able to see.​ ​ ​There is no function​ality to restrict specific queries though.
