Hello,
I want to set up LDAP integration to manage groups, allowing them access to different spaces within the Kibana 8.8 interface.
Additionally, I want to handle permissions through an external LDAP.
- Is this at the Kibana level or at the Elasticsearch level?
Could you please provide me with some guidance on how I can achieve this?
Thank you

This is done on Elasticsearch to setup connection to ldap. U use roles and role mapping to assign permissions.
Look for the documentation around `xpack.security.authc.ldap` and roles in the stack.
