Securing spaces

edit

With a Gold or Platinum license, you can control which roles have access to each space. To get started, navigate to Management > Roles.

Setting privileges

edit

Access for all spaces in Kibana is governed by a concept called "minimum privilege." There are three options for minimum privilege:

`all`	Users have read/write access to all spaces in Kibana. Additionally, users can create, edit, and delete individual spaces. This extends to spaces that users create in the future.
`read`	Users have read-only access to all spaces in Kibana. This extends to spaces that users create in the future.
`none`	Users do not have the all-spaces access. You must set access on individual spaces.

Once you set the minimum privilege for all spaces, you can then add read and write access to individual spaces.

Examples

edit

To provide	Do this
Full access to all spaces	Set the minimum privilege to `all`. This grants full access to all spaces. In this case, you can’t customize access to specific spaces.
Read-only access to all spaces, with full access to specific spaces	Set the minimum privilege to `read`, then grant the `all` privilege to individual spaces as needed. You can’t revoke access to an individual space.
Read-only access to a specific space	Set the minimum privilege to `none` to prevent all-space access, then set the `read` privilege for an individual space, as shown below.
