== Spaces
|
||
|
||
Spaces enable you to organize your dashboards and other saved
|
||
objects into meaningful categories. Once inside a space, you see only
|
||
the dashboards and saved objects that belong to that space.
|
||
|
||
{kib} creates a default space for you.
|
||
After you create your own
|
||
spaces, you're asked to choose a space when you log in to {kib}. You can change your
|
||
current space at any time by using the menu.

|
||
==== Required privileges
|
||
|
||
The `kibana_admin` role or equivalent is required to manage **Spaces**.
|
||
|
||
TIP: Looking to support multiple tenants? Refer to <<xpack-security-multiple-tenants, the Security documentation>> for more information.

[[spaces-managing]]
|
||
=== View, create, and delete spaces
|
||
|
||
Open the main menu, then click *Stack Management > Spaces* for an overview of your spaces. This view provides actions
|
||
for you to create, edit, and delete spaces.
|
||
|
||

|
||

||
[float]
|
||
==== Create or edit a space
|
||
|
||
You can create as many spaces as you like. Click *Create a space* and provide a name,
|
||
URL identifier, optional description.
|
||
|
||
The URL identifier is a short text string that becomes part of the
|
||
{kib} URL when you are inside that space. {kib} suggests a URL identifier based
|
||
on the name of your space, but you can customize the identifier to your liking.
|
||
You cannot change the space identifier once you create the space.
|
||
|
||
{kib} also has an <<spaces-api, API>>
|
||
if you prefer to create spaces programmatically.

|
||
==== Delete a space
|
||
|
||
Deleting a space permanently removes the space and all of its contents.
|
||
Find the space on the *Spaces* overview page and click the trash icon in the Actions column.
|
||
You can't delete the default space, but you can customize it to your liking.

[[spaces-control-feature-visibility]]
|
||
=== Control feature access based on user needs
|
||
|
||
You have control over which features are visible in each space.
|
||
For example, you might hide *Dev Tools*
|
||
in your "Executive" space or show *Stack Monitoring* only in your "Admin" space.
|
||
You can define which features to show or hide when you add or edit a space.
|
||
|
||
Controlling feature
|
||
visibility is not a security feature. To secure access
|
||
to specific features on a per-user basis, you must configure
|
||
<<xpack-security-authorization, {kib} Security>>.

[[spaces-control-user-access]]
|
||
=== Control feature access based on user privileges
|
||
|
||
When using {kib} with security, you can configure applications and features
|
||
based on your users’ privileges. This means different roles can have access
|
||
to different features in the same space.
|
||
Power users might have privileges to create and edit visualizations and dashboards,
|
||
while analysts or executives might have read-only privileges for *Dashboard* and *Canvas*.
|
||
Refer to <<adding_kibana_privileges>> for details.

[[spaces-moving-objects]]
|
||
=== Move saved objects between spaces
|
||
|
||
To move saved objects between spaces, you can <<managing-saved-objects-copy-to-space, copy objects>>, or <<managing-saved-objects-export-objects, export and import objects>>.
|
||
|

[float]
|
||
[[spaces-default-route]]
|
||
=== Configure a space-level landing page
|
||
|
||
You can create a custom experience for users by configuring the {kib} landing page on a per-space basis.
|
||
The landing page can route users to a specific dashboard, application, or saved object as they enter each space.
|
||
|
||
To configure the landing page, use the default route setting in
|
||
<<kibana-general-settings, Stack Management > {kib} > Advanced settings>>.
|
||
For example, you might set the default route to `/app/dashboards`.
