Hello,  
I have failed to create a kibana user that can see specific dashboards and their data.  
Perhaps you can tell me what I may be missing, I tried to use the existing roles in the Kibana 6.2.2 I have, and I also tried creating new roles.  
The best result I got was that the user can see the dashboard, and visuals, but no data from the index.

Details:  
My index is called "test1" my user is called "test1user" and my visuals and dashboard show data only from the test1 index.

I gave my "test1user" the following permissions:  
roles: test1user, kibana\_user, watcher\_user

Thanks in advance !  
JD

What roles did you give `test1user`? Do any of the roles have privileges for the index?

I tried a bunch of things, therefore suggest that you assume I know nothing, what do I need to provide that user to see data from the "test1" index and the visualizations for the index?

Create a role and add read/write access to the desired index to the role. Add the role to user.
