Hey all!

What I am trying to accomplish is to grant access to my Kibana indexes for a certain user BUT limit them to only data being ingested where agent.hostame matches a certain host.

I thought I could easily accomplish this by creating a specific role for said user and limit their access this way but unable to find any examples on how exactly to do this.

I am looking at Stack Management/Roles and trying to configure _Granted documents query_.

I'm doing something obviously wrong but also not getting any great feedback on what it could be.

This is the only query that I found that doesn't generate an error but also doesn't work as expected.

```auto
{
	"bool": {
		"filter": {
			"term": { "agent.hostname": "HOSTNAME" }
		}
	}
}

```

Ideas on what I can try next?

Thanks in advance!

Try this

```auto
{"term": { "agent.hostname": "HOSTNAME" }}

```
