I’ve installed opendistroforelasticsearch-kibana-1.4.0-1.x86\_64 to work with ES. What role should the kibanaserver be?

elasticsearch.hosts: [https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)  
elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: none  
elasticsearch.username: kibanaserver  
elasticsearch.password: kibanaserver  
elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [“securitytenant”,“Authorization”]

opendistro\_security.multitenancy.enabled: true  
opendistro\_security.multitenancy.tenants.preferred: [“Private”, “Global”]  
opendistro\_security.readonly\_mode.roles: [“kibana\_read\_only”]
