Privileges endpoint

edit

Privileges endpoint

edit

Retrieves whether or not the user is authenticated, and the user’s Kibana space and index privileges, which determine if the user can create an index (.siem-signals-*) for the Elastic Security alerts generated by detection engine rules.

For information about the permissions and privileges required to create .siem-signals-<Kibana-space> indices, see Enable Detections.

The Kibana Console supports only Elasticsearch APIs. You cannot interact with the Kibana APIs with the Console and must use curl or another HTTP tool instead. For more information, refer to Console.
