Hi all,  
I wanted to explore benefits of x-pack and downloaded the trial version (5.6.9 like my ELK products).  
I'm not able to test a case where a user could only access a particular indice. The only thing that works is user with the superuser role.  
Before going further, i just want to know wether the trial version permits me to implement such a case, because often, all facilities are not available in free versions.  
Tnak you for your answer and help.

The trial version provides access to all features. have you created a new role that specifically grants access to the index you mentioned? Have you assigned this to a new user (with the `kibana_user` role if you are using Kibana)? This [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/securing-gdpr-personal-data-with-access-controls) contains some example roles and users that might be useful.

Thank you for your quick answer. I've created a user with kibana\_user role and a specific role to access my indice and only this one. I even looked at several video démos :-).  
As you said the trial version allow me to implement this case, i'm going to investigate more.  
Regards
