How to share visualizations for public access in Kibana? - elasticsearch

How can I share dashboards and visualizations using a share link and block access to the Kibana (5.1.1) management panel?
When I use X-pack for security then all users have to type login and password to access charts.
I would just share charts with people nothing more.

Prevent Databricks cluster creation in Standard SKU

We're in Databricks Standard SKU, in standard SKU, there is no access control and every users are admin, due to which everybody has previlage to create there own cluster. Is there a way we can restrict the cluster creation for databricks users in stadard SKU.
I know in Premium SKU, we could easily create groups and in the Entitlements option, we can uncheck the Allow cluster creation option. Is there a similar functionality is available in Standard SKU? Any pointers would help.
Also, if somebody starts the Databricks cluster is there a way we can get alerts/notifications.
Azure Databricks Standard
Databricks have 5 levels for access control and in the standard plan, all are disabled.
In standard, every user is an admin, and any user can add another user even that does not have access or any resource group or subscription.
Azure Databricks Premium
Premium, we have role-based access control. Before working on these make sure it’s enabled.
Databricks cluster is there a way we can get alerts/notifications ?
Yes, You can get alerts/notifications. Please follow the below reference it has detail information about Azure Databricks alert and standard, premium Databricks .

How to create a user that can only manage the dashboards in kibana?

Is there anyway to create a user that can only do the CRUD operations on dashboards in kibana?i need this kind of permission but i cant figure out how to create it.
Can someone help?
Ok, in the recent versions it´s pretty easy as you can use kibana to manage the roles and kibana features per space and role.
Have a closer look at kibana role management and kibana privileges - I´ts pretty well documented!

Role based access control in elastic search

What are the elastic search versions will support security features like role based access control ??
I am using elastic search only as a document store (no kibana or logstash), can we achieve role based access ?
If yes, how to create users and provide read/write role for it ?
I would suggest you read the X-pack docs for the same.
This is not the exact answer but I am new to the elastic as well.
I would recommend using ELK stack for getting the access control.

Lock Kibana Dashboard

I have set up Elastic Search and Kibana and prepared different monitoring dashboard. So how can i lock my dashboard so dashboard is visible to all and even they can apply filters and visualize but it shouldn't change original dashboard so when they open dashboard again it should be same as one which i had prepared. I tried to check elastic search website and they offer subscription for X-pack which provides role based access control. But is there anyway I can lock the dashboard rather than subscription because i used Kibana as it was open source.
Thank You in advance.

Implementing security on ELK using x-pack

I want to secure all the communications in ELK. For that i have installed x-pack plugin. Please let me know if its right plugin to do so. I want to introduce username & password and also SSL enabled communication.
I have installed x-pack plugin in elasticsearch.
elasticsearch-plugin.bat install x-pack
i have also learnt that there are 3 default users in x-pack. elastic, kibana and logstash-system.
Even though i have installed x-pack only on elasticsearch, kibana also asks for credentials.
My Doubts:
I want to know why kibana is asking for credentials.
If i give credentials as kibana/changeme, i dont get any logs in kibana. But if i login as elastic/changeme, i can see logs in kibana.Why it is so? Is it like, the credentials used should be same across elasticsearch and kibana?
How should i manage using elastic, kibana and logstash-system users provided by x-pack?
You can check out the users (assuming you are accessing Kibana on localhost and authenticate with elastic and changeme) at http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/management/security/users?_g=().
In that list you'll also see the user kibana with the role kibana_system. If you check out the details of that role, you'll see that it only has the monitor privilege and can only access the indices .kibana* and .reporting-*. That explains why your kibana user cannot see any data.
If you want to make this production ready:
Only enable the users that you need.
Change passwords.
Maybe disable the default users and just create your own.
PS: I've only checked this on the 6.0.0-alpha2, but I think this should be the same on version 5 as well.
