Hi,
```
I have managed to install x-pack plugin on ELK 5.4.1. When I have created a user "guest" with "kibana_user" role. But after getting into kibana no events are visible to the user.
```
I can see same behavior with other roles except superuser. I have tried to collect to elasticsearch via curl using these users/passwords and I do get response.
What else I have to tune ? any file system level permissions have to be changed ?
curl -u guest:xxxxx [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)

Have you assigned these users the `kibana_user` role?

Yes off course I had. But today I spotted another error in logstash. I suspect x-pack may be the cause "[Index 404 error in logstash](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/index-404-error-in-logstash/91830)" but even after removing x-pack I continue to get 404 error during indexing in logstash.
