Hello,  
I have a Kibana environment in which I have created several dashboards and saved searches.  
My Kibana also has several users which they can create their own dashboards or saved search.  
Is there a way for me to "lock" those dashboards and saved searches which I have created? or make them read-only so that users cannot modify or overwrite them?

Thanks

Hi @Saeed_Ektesabi1

At this time, Kibana does not offer object level permissions like you are looking for.

I would suggest looking into [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/xpack-spaces.html) which would allow you to segment off those dashboards you do not want modified into their own space which you could define permissions for.
