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.

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