Description: User management in Kibana allows administrators to manage user roles and permissions within the Kibana environment, which is a visualization interface for data stored in Elasticsearch. This functionality is crucial for ensuring security and access control to information, allowing only authorized users to view or manipulate sensitive data. Through user management, administrators can create, modify, and delete user accounts, as well as assign specific roles that determine what actions they can perform within Kibana. Roles can include permissions to view dashboards, perform searches on indices, or manage system configurations. This customization capability is essential in enterprise environments where different teams may require different levels of access to information. Additionally, user management integrates with other security features of the ELK Stack, such as authentication and auditing, allowing for a more robust and secure approach to data management. In summary, user management in Kibana not only facilitates access administration but also reinforces the security and integrity of data within the broader ecosystem of data management tools.
