No Role/User Admin - no reporting

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

We set up ELK 7.17 some time ago following a digital ocean guide here:

The login appears to just be set up via the NGINX basic auth.

When I go into Stack Management there is no Roles or Users section, we don't have the reporting section.

My theories are:

  1. I need to install or enable something that guide didn't cover, but I can't find anything in the docs to suggest that's the case
  2. I haven't set up auth right so the basic auth user isn't getting the admin rights fully (but it can manage lots of scary things) so I've missed a set up step I now can't find in the docs

Can anyone point me at where I should start looking?

Thanks

That guide seem to not cover setting up security properly in Elasticsearch and instead implements only authentication via a proxy. If you had done this no proxy would be required at all. I would recommend following the offical documentation rather than any third-party guide that may or may not be correct, complete and up-to-date.
