No.. Authentication (User/Password) leads to Authorization (Roles)

I think you have 3 options

1. Disable x-pack security and go back to your previous method

2. Go All the way in and get a Platinum commercial license and use SAML etc. complete with role mappings

3. Perhaps Use Anonymous Login after you login with your GMAIL and redirect to Kibana.

See Here : [Authentication in Kibana | Kibana Guide [8.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.4/kibana-authentication.html#anonymous-authentication)

I think I wrote a post on this before [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/anonymous-kibana-users/270071/9) I think that shows Elastic Cloud but self managed should be pretty much the same you can remove the basic auth so only have anonymous.
