Hi  
I need different user groups in Kibana. Some should only be able to "view" a predefined dashboard, others should have full access to all functions.  
But the reporting function should be possible for everyone.  
The documentation says that for the reporting feature the users must have the role reporting\_user. I have assigned this role to the corresponding user group.  
It also says that i need the appropriate Kibana privileges to access the objects that i want the users to report on and the Elasticsearch indices. Which are those "approprieate privileges"?

Which further settings are necessary so that all users can create reports (PDF; CSV)?

As a superuser I can create reports.  
Thanks for your help.  
We are Using Kibana 7.6.2
