When I log in to user test1, I can't see the dashboards (they exist with that index) and I can't do anything.

If you look at the definition for `kibana_dashboard_only_role` you'll see that it has specific access:

```auto
GET /_xpack/security/role/kibana_dashboard_only_user
{
  "kibana_dashboard_only_user" : {
    "cluster" : [],
    "indices" : [
      {
        "names" : [
          ".kibana*"
        ],
        "privileges" : [
          "read",
          "view_index_metadata"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "run_as" : [],
    "metadata" : {
      "_reserved" : true
    },
    "transient_metadata" : {
      "enabled" : true
    }
  }
}

```

Your `test_dashboard_only_user` needs to grant that same access to `.kibana`

Hi, apparently I have the same accesses in the role `test_dashboard_only_user`
