If I disable the `xpack.telemetry.enabled` setting I can't create or edit roles in the kibana ui. The `/app/kibana#/management/security/roles` site is accessable, but `/app/kibana#/management/security/roles/edit` is not. Tested with Version 7.3.0 on Windows 10. No Warning or Error logs. Elasticsearch's roles API works fine. **Steps** : Download and extract es and kibana zips. elasticsearch.yml: `xpack.security.enabled: true` Start es elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto kibana.yml: `elasticsearch.username: "kibana"` `elasticsearch.password: "ThePwd"` `xpack.telemetry.enabled: false` Start kibana Login -\> Management -\> Roles Click on "Create Role" -\> Nothing happens ---

Hi I shall try this setting on my local environment and get back to you. Meanwhile what do the Kibana logs say ? Can you set `logging.verbose: true` in `Kibana.yml` Setting this value to `true` logs all events, including system usage information and all requests. Thanks Rashmi ---

I tried the same config settings with Telemetry disabled on 7.3.0 on my mac, and users and roles work just fine without Telemetry. Can we get more information? Browser Console errors, Kibana logs, screenshots would help. Thanks Rashmi ---

@rashmi Thx for the quick reply. 😀 Nothing special in the screenshots... The Error/Info in the console persist across all pages. Tried it with chrome and firefox.. same result. It also happens on another machine of mine with a ... "bigger" configuration.
