Access to query's permalinks for users with other roles/spaces

Our Kibana (7.17.1) users would like to share queries (via Discover → Share → Permalinks) with other users that have different roles/spaces assigned. At the moment the target users get just a blank page if they use the permalink URL.

I activated anonymous authentication to enable Public URLs as a try, but the underlying anonymous user in turn needs role(s)/space(s) assigned and I can't add everything there since this would be against our data security policy.

I also tried the built-in role viewer for the anonymous user but this didn't work without an explicit role in addition and "This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release." and "read access to any index that is not prefixed with a dot" is also against our security policy anyway.

Is it possible somehow else to give users with different roles/spaces access to shared permalinks?

I ended up creating an extra Share space and:

  • assigned it to all the respective roles and
  • added all the respective index patterns to it.

The only drawback is that the users have to switch to this space prior to creating a link if they'd like to share it with users of other roles/spaces.
