HI ,

My basic requirement here is to restrict any Kibana user for one machine only ,so that same user can not login from different machine at the same time.

is there any setting needs to modify in kibana.yml file or anywhere else?

Anyone has any idea about this , please help !!

Thanks and regards,  
Mrunalini

I'm not aware of any feature like this.  
I don't think it's doable as I believe there are no server side sessions in Kibana. But may be this is something you could ask in #elastic-stack:kibana channel instead?
