Thanks for sharing the full trace. I think you're correct that Kibana lacks the rights under that user to access the necessary Javascript. Can you check the permissions under the Kibana install folders? This [old thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-npm-permission-error-at-start/89719) suggests that might help.
