Is it possible to limit the time range available to a user on a dashboard? I want to prevent users initially from selecting a time range that is outside of the dataset available. Having these configurable at an admin level would be beneficial to our stack. If this is possible, does the limit also apply/get validated when specified in a url string? Many Thanks for you help. ---

Hi Gav, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately it's currently not possible to limit the time range a user can chose. If you would like to see such a feature in the future, please feel free to open an [issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) for that on GitHub. Thanks a lot, Tim ---
