I have the below query template in my role: `{"template":{"source":{"match":{"role.keyword","{{_user.roles}}"}}}}` `role` in that example is an array on a document. `_user.roles` is obviously an array. When I log in as a user I see `Discover: [script] failed to parse field [source]` in Kibana which I assume to be an issue with the above template. Is what I'm trying to achieve possible which is the document can only be visible if one of the user roles matches any of the roles property on the document ---

I don't know if this addresses it? [https://www.elastic.co/blog/attribute-based-access-control-with-xpack](https://www.elastic.co/blog/attribute-based-access-control-with-xpack?blade=tw&hulk=social) ---
