Hi, I am trying to create a separate space in kibana based on a read only developer role
I have created the roles dedicated for the developers that has read access to the indices. However they only see one pattern of indices no matter what I do. This used to work in the past but it seam broken in the newer versions of kibana. The setting of the roles can be seen here:
Any suggestion how to fix it? Just FYI this runs on elastic cloud.
