Hello, How to give a single user read/view access to monitors and alerting in Kibana without giving them admin access? Is there a permissions variable I can give the user? Any info appreciated. Thanks. ---

Hi, the API returns the missing permission if you call it. Should be one of these: [https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security-access-control/permissions/](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security-access-control/permissions/) Create a new role with the missing permissions and map it to your user. ---
