Hi @selin! I'd recommend [reading through the PR](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/79985) in which this feature was implemented, as it provides some setup instructions. There is also [documentation available on anonymous access](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-authentication.html#anonymous-authentication) in Kibana.
