I followed the doc to create a new user: [configuring-security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.2/configuring-security.html)  
and I performed the following two requests

```
curl -XPOST -u elastic 'localhost:9200/_security/role/events_admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
 "indices" : [
{
  "names" : ["events*"],
  "privileges" : ["all"]
},
{
  "names" : [".kibana*"],
  "privileges" : ["manage", "read", "index"]
}
]
}'

curl -XPOST -u elastic 'localhost:9200/_security/user/johndoe' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '
{
"password" : "userpassword",
"full_name" : "John Doe",
"email" : "john.doe@anony.mous",
"roles" : ["events_admin"]
}'

```

then I use it to login kibana，kibana display json info

```
 {
    statusCode: 403,
    error: "Forbidden",
    message: "Forbidden"
}

```

my question is why I could not log in kibana with this new user， What have I done less?

Similarly，I create another user by kibana interface
