Hi @NAHA,

There isn't a way I know of to do this in `6.x`, but as of `7.2` you can use [role management](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-role-management.html) to conditionally show/hide different apps in Kibana.

Using role management you could, for example, create a role with access only to Discover, which would hide all other menu bar items, and then use a reverse proxy to provide credentials to a user with that role via Basic Authorization headers.

[Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/4) has a fairly in-depth explanation of what this looks like using nginx as an example.

Hopefully this helps a bit!
