Hello everyone,  
I wana ask if i could manage indexes :  
i mean if i have 2 kibana one run on the "[http://localhost:5601/](http://localhost:5601/)" and the other on the "[http://localhost:5602/](http://localhost:5602/)" and the two use the same elasticsearch .  
My question here :  
Could i limit the first user so he never see the indexes created by the other user ?  
Is it possible to manage visiblity of indexes ?

Please help .  
Nour.

Sounds like something you can do with x-pack security feature. (Commercial license)
