Security
editSecurity
editThe Elastic Stack security features enable you to easily secure a cluster. With security, you can password-protect your data as well as implement more advanced security measures such as encrypting communications, role-based access control, IP filtering, and auditing. For more information, see Security overview and Configuring Security in Kibana.
Users
editYou can create and manage users on the Management → Security → Users page. You can also change their passwords and roles. For more information about authentication and built-in users, see User authentication.
Roles
editYou can manage roles on the Management → Security → Roles page, or use the Kibana role management APIs. For more information on configuring roles for Kibana, see Granting access to Kibana.
For a more holistic overview of configuring roles for the entire stack, see User authorization.
Managing roles that grant Kibana privileges using the Elasticsearch role management APIs is not supported. Doing so will likely cause Kibana’s authorization to behave unexpectedly.
