Hello! I am looking to make my Kibana visualizations/dashboards publicly viewable through a website. The embedded link generated through the share tab seems to only be working for me, with other users getting an error saying couldn’t display data for anonymous. Is there a way to make it available to everyone?

Its an intentional warning that was added when you are logged in as as the root user or using `sudo` . Kibana shouldn't need root access to run - generally it's a good practice to run with the least amount of privileges.

Don't know which version you are on though, but this PR went into 7.2.0 :

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/21563>
>
> This checks if we're attempting to run Kibana as root, and if so we exit. A for…ce-root flag is available for overriding.
> 
> Kibana shouldn't need root access to run - generally it's a good practice to run with the least amount of privileges. Additionally this will help alleviate permission issues with our plugin installer on deb and rpm packages (sudo -u kibana)

> Closes #20636

Hope this helps  
Thanks
