   We have detected an issue with the Kibana authentication flow for both Deployments and Projects. Authenticating to Kibana using the "Log in with Elastic Cloud" button results in an authentication failure. A workaround is to access Kibana using the link inside the Elastic Cloud console. We are currently working on a resolution. Our team is currently identifying the root cause to resolve the issue. We will share another update in the next hour.
