You should do two things;

1. Ask this on the Searchguard repo
2. Provide better subjects for your question 🙂

hi Mark,  
if I can ask you one question, what are the required fields for kibana to function properly because we are trying to set user permissions and I assumed that for example I can assign everything to admin and fewer permissions for normal user ?  
many thanks  
bujar
