When I try to view Stack Monitoring, I receive an error message.
I get the same message with the default elastic admin user as well as my provisioned unique admin user account I use.
I only have one cluster, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this.
Access Denied
You are not authorized to access Monitoring. To use Monitoring, you need the privileges granted by both the `kibana_admin` and `monitoring_user ` roles.
If you are attempting to access a dedicated monitoring cluster, this might be because you are logged in as a user that is not configured on the monitoring cluster.
Since Cross Cluster Search is enabled (`monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled` is set to `true`), make sure your cluster has the `remote_cluster_client` role on at least one node

Hi, @sourcreamnormanbates! Thanks for reaching out.

Thanks for the suggestions. The solution that worked for me was to add this setting to the kibana.yml.
monitoring.ui.ccs.enabled: false
