What's the difference between Kibana and ES roles?

[Agus_Roca]

Hi fellows,

I am reading the docs and found in Kibana API for roles it states

Kibana role management APIs | Kibana Guide [7.16] | Elastic

> Do not use the Elasticsearch role management APIs to manage Kibana roles.

I could not find the difference and where these are stored in comparison to ES roles. I want to manage spaces, so I am wondering which ones to use.

Thanks!

Hello,

Kibana role management | Kibana Guide [7.17] | Elastic & Kibana privileges | Kibana Guide [7.17] | Elastic
should help you.

You can create a role, assign space privileges to it and associate an user with it to access the space.

Thanks,
Bhavya
