Looking at subscription model, it is not very clear on the features provided in security for various subscription model.  
[https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)

Can someone please clarify?

Is this true-  
Basic security: Free

- TLS for encrypted communications
- File and native realm for creating and managing users
- Role-based access control for controlling user access to cluster APIs and indexes; also allows multi-tenancy for Kibana with security for Kibana Spaces

Advanced security features: Provided with Platinum subscription  
single sign-on, Active Directory/LDAP authentication & field- and document-level security.

Thanks!
