Please i created a new user and gave him a role “Reader”. Where do I as an admin add or remove access to whatever the new user wants to see. How do i assign read only roles to him and where do i choose what he needs to see. Thanks. ---

While creating roles, you can define READ or WRITE level access on STREAMS and DASHBOARDS. This will help you in assigning who sees what. ---

I think there is no option to remove Alerts tab from the menubar. ---

you are right @sachin. @haywhai you would need to modify the source code to remove that. ---

@haywhai you need to check out the repository to your local computer, make the desired changes and compile Graylog yourself including your changes. After that copy your compiled version of Graylog to your server to make use of that. ---
