Hi -  
We have Kibana 4.2; ES 2.0 and LS2.0, and Shield 2.0 in place. We have the data loaded, 4 visualizations, and 1 dashboard ready to display for the users.

I want to pre-set certain defaults for our users to make it turn-key experience when they login.

I want to setup each user id so that when that user logs in, we display the predefined Dashboard, selected Index and predefined time range for them without requiring them to chose those selections individually.

Is there a way to save these settings to a user profile?!
