Thanks for the information.

I already set a default dashboard for the user. But in my case, he can still go to System menu and can see lots of information about my setup. Such as how many nodes i have or how many inputs i have etc…

Now, I am trying to change some permission values for the reader user;

“name” : “Reader”,  
“permissions” : [  
“clusterconfigentry:read”,  
“indexercluster:read”,  
“messagecount:read”,  
“journal:read”,  
“messages:analyze”,  
“inputs:read”,  
“metrics:read”,  
“savedsearches:edit”,  
“fieldnames:read”,  
“buffers:read”,  
“system:read”,  
“savedsearches:create”,  
“jvmstats:read”,  
“decorators:read”,  
“throughput:read”,  
“savedsearches:read”,  
“messages:read”  
],  
“description” : “Grants basic permissions for every Graylog user (built-in)”,  
“read\_only” : true,  
“name\_lower” : “reader”

And if I can do it somehow I will let you know.

Thanks
