Is there a way to make a "permanent filter" or make a filter non-removable?
The reason for this is, I want the user to only see data relevant to their company. If they simply removed the filter, they would be able to view data from other companies.

If all the data is in the same index, which it seems to be, then you could look at setting up a Security role per company that filters down based on whatever field + value pair you have.

Do you have documentation about that ?

The data I'm trying to filter is from packetbeat. Is there any way to filter or send each client's information to a specific index?
