Hi, I have a role that I would like to give the option to create index patterns. How is that possible? The role already have ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/4/84ffd2f1e340451bc2469c7a98beb1214a2c3128.png) to **all** (\*) indices in the cluster. What am I missing? Thanks! ---

The setup you're showing looks like it would work. Are you seeing errors? Also, it looks like the settings you're showing are not really restricting users: could you leave the privileges more open? ---

The settings above are just trial and error to give users the option to create index patterns. Currently, they cannot do it. I dont see errors, but dont see the menu item to create patterns either. Thank you ---

Did you add any Kibana privileges to these users? ---

It looks like you've set these users to have no privileges for index pattern management: this explains everything. ---

Great! What is the solution? How can I give these privileges? Thank you ---

In the screenshot above, you can change the user privileges from "Index pattern management" permissions of "None" to "All"- that should do it ---
