Hi ,
I am learning kibana and xpack. I have installed free version of ES,kibana and xpack and also done the security settings like username and password.
Now am facing permission issues in kibana. Before installing xpack i am able to POST my code in dev tools. Once i install xpack i am getting permission issue.
I try to set user role but failed to set.
When i am trying to manage roles or add new watch i am getting below error message.
(You do not have permission to manage watches.
Please contact your administrator.)
I can't Post anything by using dev tools. Below is the error i am getting when i try to POST or GET.
{
"error": {
"root\_cause": [
{
"type": "security\_exception",
"reason": "action [indices:admin/mappings/get] is unauthorized for user [kibana]"
}
],
"type": "security\_exception",
"reason": "action [indices:admin/mappings/get] is unauthorized for user [kibana]"
},
"status": 403
}
Please help me to resolve this permission issue.

Hello,
It looks like you have logged in to Kibana using the `kibana` user, which is a common mistake, but albeit a mistake. `kibana` user is an internal user that you configure in your `kibana.yml` file and that Kibana uses to connect to Elasticsearch and is not meant to be used by end users.
You can start by logging in to Kibana with the `elastic` superuser. It can do pretty much anything, so you can either keep on using this user or - and this is what we suggest - create new, specific users that have permissions to do as little as possible in order to satisfy your use cases and use those in order to access Kibana.

`elasticsearch-plugin install file:///D:/Xpack/x-pack-6.2.2.zip` should be the correct command to run
