Create Kibana Users and Assign Roles

Setup stage

This step is required for Environment Watch.

To access Kibana dashboards and saved searches, a new account must be created for each user and be assigned to the custom Kibana role that was installed during the Environment Watch CLI setup.

Creating Kibana Users with Dashboard Access

To create a Kibana user and assign the custom Kibana role:

  1. Log in to Kibana as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Navigate to Stack Management > Security > Users.
  3. Click Create user.
  4. Fill out the following:
  • Username: A unique login name (e.g., alerts_dashboard_user).
  • Password: Set a strong password.
  • Full name / Email address: Optional but recommended.
  1. Under Roles, search for and assign the relativity_dashboard_user role.
  2. Click Create user to save.

Important: Users must log in with this account to access the Kibana dashboards and saved searches provided by Environment Watch.
