I'm having an issue where I want to provide reporting access to a role.

I followed the steps given here - [Configure reporting in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-reporting.html#grant-user-access) - which says to disable reporting roles  
But then `If the Reporting option is unavailable, contact your administrator, or enable the option in kibana.yml.` which then redirects me here - [Reporting settings in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-settings-kb.html#reporting-advanced-setting%60) - and says to enable reporting roles but is a deprecated option.

I've added this to my `kibana.yml` file

```auto
xpack.reporting.enabled: true
xpack.reporting.roles.enabled: false

```

But i'm still unable to see the Reporting option under Analytics in the Kibana Privileges

This is what I see

Is there something else that I'm missing

Kibana Version: 7.15.1

Hi @nate_d The reporting section is under "Stack Management" not Analytics.  
You can navigate there more quickly by using the Global Search option at the top of the page in the middle (shortcut key is cmd + / on a Mac).

@cheiligers i'm looking to grant user privileges in kibana for reporting.  
the `reporting_user` has been deprecated and the only solution that the docs give is to provide access via privileges. But I am unable to see the option when creating a role.

@nate_d I want to try and replicate the issue and need a few details to do that:

1. How are you running Kibana, from source?
2. What role do you have when logging in?
3. Have you restarted Kibana after editing the config file (`kibana.yml`)?
4. Did you add `view_index_metadata` to all the indices you want reporting enabled for (step 3 in [Configure reporting in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/secure-reporting.html#grant-user-access))?

I'm trying to see which step in the process for granting users access to reporting is not working for you.
