Hello,

We are evaluating Elastic's managed cloud service for a big project.  
We would like to assign a personal Kibana Space for each user. We would have approx. 20k users.  
I created a trial account with Elastic and Kibana deployed to test some scenarios.

I know there's an artificial limit on number of spaces, which is set to 1000 by default.  
Following this article, I am trying to increase the limit:

> **[Spaces settings in Kibana | Kibana Guide \[7.10\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/spaces-settings-kb.html)**

But it seems, the setting `xpack.spaces.maxSpaces` is not allowed to be set on Kibana SaaS.  
The edit deployment page throws an error that this setting is not allowed:

Can this setting be changed on Elastic's cloud service?  
Is this a limitation of trial account?

(I think there's a whitelist of allowed settings here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-manage-kibana-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-manage-kibana-settings.html). I can see that `maxSpaces` setting is not in this list. But I want to confirm anyway.)

I suspect this is a question you need to ask Elastic Cloud support.
