/cc @elastic/es-security is there any precedent for renaming reserved roles without requiring manual intervention from the user to update all users in the native realm and all of the role mappings? |

@clintongormley it's utility is a lot more limited, and there's potential that we'd want to get rid of it entirely. However, I do think it helps users get started using Kibana; otherwise, the user would be required to have the |
@clintongormley Without kibana_admin, customers(let's use customer instead of user to avoid confusion) can login as Superuser and create a new role with same access rights as Kibana_admin, and use this new role to create other roles with various Spaces access rights. By keeping the built-in Kibana_admin role, we just make customers' life a little bit easier... |

We were initially hoping to be able to rename these roles during the 7.0 upgrade process, but this will end up requiring manual intervention from the users, so I've updated the description to specify the new plan. |

As Kibana has evolved, the
kibana_user
andkibana_dashboard_only_user
role names are becoming rather confusing.These roles are no longer the absolute minimum privileges that a user needs to access Kibana, and
kibana_user
is more-so the "Kibana superuser" andkibana_dashboard_only_user
is a "All of Kibana read-only user". I'm less concerned withkibana_dashboard_only_user
because "Feature Controls" should be making this functionality redundant; butkibana_user
is my primary concern.Since renaming this role automatically isn't feasible, the current plan is to create a
kibana_admin
role; and to deprecate the existingkibana_user
andkibana_dashboard_only_user
roles for the 7.x lifecycle. We'll need to determine the best way to denote that this role is deprecated, and warn the user that it will be removed in 8.0. Ideally, the 8.0 upgrade assistant will be able to handle the switch for us as long as the user is using the native realm. This will give the users adequate time to transition to the new role.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
