Variable username

Search Guard
1

When asking questions, please provide the following information:

Hello,

Version ELK → 6.2.4

Version Search Guard → 6

I need to know if it is possible to use any variable that contains the username of the logged in at that moment. It would be for use in kibana in the filters of the visualizations.
Thank you.
