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

We don't offer this feature, but you may be interested in [session management in Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/xpack-security-session-management.html) which might solve some similar problems
