Hi there,

My Graylog version is 3.3.16.  
Could you help me, how to show some logs of specified time range for specified user?  
For example, only allow user-A to access logs which is between 2023-01-11 and 2023-01-14?

Thanks so much!

I tried to create stream, but stream seems like only works for new logs.  
My request is point to previous logs.

the most granular permission you can set is based on streams. If a user has the right to access a stream, you will not be able to limit the access to a certain timeframe.
