Hello!

Let’s say i have one global tenant with 3 dashboards. I want to be able to allow certain users to view only certain dashboards.  
e.g.

```auto
user1: dashboard1
user2: dashboard1, dashboard2
user3: all dashboards

```

Can this be done without creating different tenants? (that option is a real pain when you want to update any viz or dashboard since you have to make the updates on each tenant)

i tried with document level security on my `.kibana_<hash>_<tenant>` index with something like this but then then I get an error when I log in  
`{"bool" : { "must_not" : [{"match_phrase" : { "dashboard.title": "Dashboard1" }}]}}`

Thanks in advance!
