Restricting Indices Access to Kibana Users #61

Hi,

I have created 3 kibana users namely admin, user1 and user2. while admin will have access to all indices in ES, user1 / user2 will have access to specific indices only.

I have whitelisted the IP address so that kibana can communicate with the ES without any issues and it is working fine. I can pump data in ES and read without any issues.

Now coming to Kibana UI, I can login as admin and see data belonging to all the indices. perfect. But when i login as user1 /user2, it is not restricting the data according to the indices. I have specified the indices using the user management console at _plugin/elasticfence/ for the users like

/[INDEX_NAME_1],/.kibana for user1
/[INDEX_NAME_2]
,/.kibana for user2

In this case, i expect user1 not to see the data in [INDEX_NAME_2] and user2 not to see the data in [INDEX_NAME_1]

Am i doing something wrong here ? or do i have to specify the index filter somewhere in the config file ?

Any inputs on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
