title: kibana read only dashboard
body: <p>I am trying to configure roles to a user to give him access to dashboard but only in read only mode:this "read only" user can see a dashboard but cannot save modifications.</p>
  
  <p>I tried several solutions :</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>x-pack</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I tried to install x-pack but I do not understand wih permissions I should give to my "read only" user.</p>
  
  <ol start="2">
  <li>Change kibana settings</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I tried to change kibana settings :</p>
  
  <pre><code>PUT .kibana/_settings
  { "index.blocks.read_only" : false }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works fine but nobody can change the dashboard anymore</p>
  
  <ol start="3">
  <li>Embedded dashboard</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I could also use embedded dashboards but the user cannot have access to time picker.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
