I am running ELK stack (v6.6.0) on azure using this template:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-deploy/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-deploy/current/index.html)

Username and password I am using from /etc/kibana/kibana.yaml configuration file. I am getting logged in. But, some features like user management, fetching elastic search data, etc requires admin privileges. I don't know which user should I login with to get admin access?

Please advice.

Thanks.

Hello,

You can login with elastic user for all your admin privileges. That is your super user.  
Also please note you need to be on trial/platinum/gold license to have access to security UIs like roles and access control.

Thanks,  
Bhavya
