Create shorts links as anonymous user #122

SearchGuard, the security plugin we are currently using to manage the access to the Dashboard, doesn't allow to create short URLs to non-logged users. The reason is this requires writing access to .kibana index.

This feature is interesting for some users, so they can share specific views of the data. A workaround is using an third-party service to shorten URL.

A possible solution could be using an external database to store short URLs with a single public API end-point to add a new one (same as other services do).
