Hi, I don't have the write permission of the kibana-8.7.1 directory, but my group want me to finish the deployment of kibana. I specify the config directory by using the environment variable KBN_PATH_CONF.
And when I tried to launch kibana, with path.data set as /home/phoebus3/XIAOL/test/elk-deployment/C2/data/elk/kibana, I got quite a few errors:

It seems that kiban was still trying to write contents inside its own directory and ignored the path.data. I wonder how to solve this problem and launch kibana properly without the write permission inside the kibana directory. Thanks a lot for your help.
Best,
