Hello,

We are working on Opendistro Security plugin 1.8 for ELK 7.7.0 for user Authentication & RBAC.  
So whenever we are creating indices & dashboards within admin user, not sure why they are not visible in opendistro user.

Able to see them after selecting Global tenant space - but again it acts similar to admin user, which is not desired.  
So, is there a way to access the indices & dashboards within opendistro user tenant space., without need for each user creating separate index pattern & dashboards within his own space.

Please confirm if this is a default behavior of Opendistro Security plugin if Not, are there any alternatives for achieving this?

Thanks in advance,  
Dipesh Kumar Nage

@Dipesh The kibana objects (index pat,. dashboards etc) are not duplicated across tenant, therefore if they are created in global tenant - they are only accessible in that tenant.  
Depending on your use case - perhaps only using global tenant will suffice, or maybe creating a custom tenant that the relevant users have access to where they can create the objects. Hope this helps
