Hello @yanwencheng , I went with a different approach. Instead of giving an API key the privilege role (in my case the role is called `anonymous-role`), I gave the `anonymous-role` to a newly created user and used the following code instead;

```auto
xpack.security.authc.providers:
    basic.basic1:
        order: 0
    anonymous.anonymous1:
        order: 1
        credentials:
            username: "[insert username here]"
            password: "[insert password here]"

```

You can refer to my post here regarding it [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/embedded-kibana-dashboard-login-page-keeps-reloading-back-to-the-same-page/293028)
