Kibana 7.2 introduces feature controls, allowing administrators to customize which features are available to different users and spaces, enhancing the application's usability and security. Previously, feature access was managed by disabling features globally through the kibana.yml file, but now feature controls enable more granular management using role-based access control. This capability lets administrators tailor the Kibana experience by hiding unnecessary features in specific spaces, and securing access based on user roles, thus offering fine-grained access policies. The introduction of custom privileges allows for defining specific feature access, either globally or per space, with roles being additive in nature. This means users receive cumulative privileges from all assigned roles, requiring careful management to avoid contradictions. The combination of spaces and security offers a flexible approach to managing feature availability, ensuring features are only accessible when both visible in the space and authorized for the user. Kibana encourages users to explore these new controls and provides resources for feedback to continue improving the user experience.
