== Security
|
|
|
|
{xpack} security enables 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
|
|
{xpack-ref}/xpack-security.html[Securing {es} and {kib}] and
|
|
<<using-kibana-with-security,Configuring Security in {kib}>>.

=== Users
|
|
|
|
You can create and manage users on the *Management* / *Security* / *Users* page.
|
|
You can also change their passwords and roles. For more information about
|
|
authentication and built-in users, see
|
|
{xpack-ref}/setting-up-authentication.html[Setting Up User Authentication].
|
|
|
|

|
|
=== Roles
|
|
|
|
You can manage roles on the *Management* / *Security* / *Roles* page, or use
|
|
{kib}'s <<role-management-api>>. For more information on configuring roles for
|
|
{kib} see <<xpack-security-authorization, {kib} Authorization>>.
|
|
|
|
For a more holistic overview of configuring roles for the entire stack,
|
|
see {xpack-ref}/authorization.html[Configuring Role-based Access Control].
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
Managing roles that grant <<kibana-privileges>> using {es}'s {ref}
|
|
/security-api-roles.html[Role Management APIs] is not supported. Doing so will likely
|
|
cause Kibana's authorization to behave unexpectedly.
