I'm actually not sure what "reserved" role means in this case. I think it would be better to refer to it as a "built-in role", as in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.3/built-in-roles.html. So maybe something like this:
"If {security} is enabled, you can use the kibana_dashboard_only_user built-in role to limit ...."
| for most use cases. However, if your setup requires a custom Kibana index, you can manually create | ||
| Dashboard Mode roles. | ||
| Kibana comes preconfigured with a reserved role called `kibana_dashboard_only_user` | ||
| that grants read only access to the `.kibana` index. This role is sufficient |

Maybe it's obvious, but it might be worth restating that this role is only available to you if security is enabled.

It might be nice to have a link to the following page, where we've been trying to give a better intro to the concept of roles, privileges, permissions, etc: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/authorization.html |
