Hi  
I have read the below link about security & spaces but I wanted to just clarify is the below possible ?  
ES Index holds data about children/schools  
Create a Space for School 1.  
Create a dashboard showing data for School 1.  
School 1 is selected as a filter (so other schools data are not visible)

User looks at dashboard- can they take the filter off so they can see other schools data (I would not want this) or if it is read only does that mean they cannot touch any filters applied? Need to be able to restrict the data shown on screen by role.

Thanks in advance

You need to use document level security in order to filter the data per space. This way people in a specific space will only be able to see the data they are allowed and nothing else, regardless of what they do with filters or any other queries.
