Kibana Dashboard Only Mode

In version 6.0 of Kibana, a new feature called Dashboard Only Mode has been introduced, allowing users to share dashboards without the risk of accidental modifications. This mode is facilitated by the "kibana_dashboard_only_user" role, which restricts users' access to only view dashboards without edit or create privileges. The feature is designed to enhance security and focus by limiting the visibility of unrelated applications and links, making it ideal for displaying dashboards on large screens without distractions. Users can set this up through the management security settings by assigning appropriate data access roles. For advanced configurations, especially in multi-tenant environments or with custom Kibana indices, users can create personalized roles tagged as "Dashboard only mode" in Advanced Settings. This feature is available in the 6.0.0-RC-1 release, and users are encouraged to provide feedback and participate in the Pioneer Program for a chance to receive Elastic merchandise.
