One Index for one user

Baco · May 16, 2017, 1:57pm

Please, I want to know if it is possible to configure one index for one user and don't permit to another user to see this index.

If it is possible, how to do it?

Thanks

You can use the Search plugin for Kibana and ES (need both) as from 5.0 and above, it supports multi-tenancy.

# Kibana Multitenancy

**Note: Kibana multitenancy is available for Elasticsearch/Kibana 5.0.2 and above!**

## Overview
Kibana does not support multi tenancy out of the box. This means that all stored objects, such as dashboards, visualizations and saved searches are stored in a global Kibana index.

This index is configured in `kibana.yml`:

```
kibana.index: ".kibana"
```

Kibana uses the Kibana server user to read and write from this index. The Kibana server user is also configured in `kibana.yml`:

```
elasticsearch.username: "kibanaserver"
elasticsearch.password: "kibanaserver"
```

The Security functionality in X-Pack does this - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-security.html

Thanks @warkolm for your reply.

But, I have two index (for example test1-* and test2-*) and if I specify one index in a user's Role, I'm not able to see data. Nothing. Only the panel on the left (discover,visualization, graph, etc...).
I'm oblige to specify kibana index to see all data. And with this index, every user will see all data.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks
