Hi,
at the moment we only use Kibana with accounts that can create, edit and view dashboards and visualizations. Can we use x-pack, for example, to create additional users who can only read certain dashboards / visualizations? So only certain information should be shared with certain users.
Unfortunately, I found very little information on this in the documentation.
Kind Regards
Christian

Perhaps take a look at this
Create a space and set to dashboard read only and just import the dashboard you want.
