This PR: - updates navigation instructions to accommodate for the navigation changes related to solution views. - updates instructions for adding sample data to rely on the integrations page instead of the home page, that only exists with the classic solution view - updates references to the home page to avoid confusing users using one of the new solution views Closes: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/529 Closes: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/540

== Security
|
|
|
|
The {stack} {security-features} enable you to easily secure a cluster. With
|
|
security, you can
|
|
password-protect your data as well as implement more advanced security measures
|
|
such as encrypting communications, role-based access control, IP filtering, and
|
|
auditing. For more information, see
|
|
{ref}/secure-cluster.html[Secure a cluster] and
|
|
<<using-kibana-with-security,Configuring Security in {kib}>>.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: There are security limitations that affect {kib}. For more information, refer to {ref}/security-limitations.html[Security].
|

|
=== Required permissions
|
|
|
|
The `manage_security` cluster privilege is required to access all Security features.

|
|
=== Users
|
|
|
|
To create and manage users, go to the *Users* management page using the navigation menu or the
|
|
<<kibana-navigation-search,global search field>>.
|
|
You can also change their passwords and roles. For more information about
|
|
authentication and built-in users, see
|
|
{ref}/setting-up-authentication.html[Setting up user authentication].
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Roles
|
|
|
|
To manage roles, go to the *Roles* management page using the navigation menu or the
|
|
<<kibana-navigation-search,global search field>>, or use
|
|
the {api-kibana}/group/endpoint-roles[role APIs]. For more information on configuring roles for {kib}, see <<xpack-security-authorization,Granting access to {kib}>>.
|
|
|
|
For a more holistic overview of configuring roles for the entire stack,
|
|
see {ref}/authorization.html[User authorization].
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
Managing roles that grant <<kibana-privileges>> using the {es}
|
|
{ref}/security-api.html#security-role-apis[role management APIs] is not supported. Doing so will likely
|
|
cause Kibana's authorization to behave unexpectedly.
