Hello,  
I am using kibana basic license  
In my use case I want to make some filters hidden for a specific user and only the admin can modify this hidden filter , also that specific user is able to apply other filters  
So is there a way to :

- Add an option to make certain filters immutable based on permissions.
- Add an option to hide certain filters based on permissions.
- The above should not prevent a user from creating new filter by e.g. clicking a visualization inside the dashboard.

Is there any option like this applied to filters?  
Any help please
