When you install X-Pack, Kibana users have to log in. They need to
have the `kibana_user` role as well as access to the indices they

=== Controlling access
You can use {xpack}/xpack-security.html[{scyld}] to control what Elasticsearch data users can access through Kibana.
{scyld} provides index-level access control. If a user isn't authorized to run
the query that populates a Kibana visualization, the user just sees an empty
visualization.
To configure access to Kibana using {scyld}, you create roles
for Kibana using the `my_kibana_user` default role as a starting point.
For more information, see {xpack-ref}kibana.html[Using Kibana with {scyld}].
