When asking questions, please provide the following information:

- Search Guard and Elasticsearch version

- Installed and used enterprise modules, if any

- JVM version and operating system version

- Search Guard configuration files

- Elasticsearch log messages on debug level

- Other installed Elasticsearch or Kibana plugins, if any

Hi,

I have installed search guard kibana. I have created one action group with READ permission. But in visualisation tab showing below error

- Index Patterns: Please specify a default index pattern

- [object Object]: [security\_exception] no permissions for [indices:data/read/field\_caps] and User [name=testuser, roles=[testrole], requestedTenant=null, attributes={}]

Please provide solution. I have given only READ and SEARCH permission. Though kibana showing exception.

Thanks,

Ajit

### [Installing the Plugin](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/kibana-plugin-installation)

How to install the Search Guard Kibana plugin which adds authentication, multi-tenancy and the configuration UI.

“Configuring Elasticsearch: Adding Kibana users”

Any Kibana user should be assigned to the sg\_kibana\_user role. If you want to build your roles from scratch, use the sg\_kibana\_user role defined in sg\_roles.yml as a blueprint:

sg\_kibana\_user:  
readonly: true  
cluster:  
- MONITOR  
- CLUSTER\_COMPOSITE\_OPS\_RO  
indices:  
‘?kibana’:  
‘_':  
- MANAGE  
- INDEX  
- READ  
- DELETE  
'_’:  
‘\*’:  
- indices:data/read/field\_caps

``

In addition to these permissions, give the Kibana user READ permissions on all indices he should have access to.
