Hi All,

Reaching out to the community to seek a response to find which privileged user has used a local admin account on a windows server from Kibana, can anyone suggest ?

Regards,

Hey Manas,  
I'm not sure I follow the question.

Are you talking about viewing how a user is using Kibana itself?  
Or are you talking about tracing a user through our Security Solution?  
If this _is_ Security Solution related, then you'll likely have more luck in their [discuss forum](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/security/endpoint-security/80).

Or perhaps something else? 😬  
Any clarification could help figure out who can help you out.

Hi @gmmorris, thanks for the response. Yes I'm referring to discuss forum 1 but with winlogbeats logs. Regards,

Ah, I see, in that case it belongs in [Beats - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elastic-stack/beats/28) 🙂  
I'll move the question over there.
