Hi @liu78778, In 7.4.2, it looks like the only time this error message is created is when [a `POST` to the select space API](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/85522c6a120263141f6f163842c1ad43dda25d95/x-pack/legacy/plugins/spaces/public/lib/spaces_manager.ts#L91-L104) fails. Since this request occurs from the client, you should be able to get more info from inspecting your browser's network requests... what response are you seeing from that API call? ---

Hi @lukeelmers, Thanks for your reply. Here is the response. ```json {"statusCode":401,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"Unauthorized"} ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/c/4c44437f04787db25ab7c39d06db23fb9a43839b.png) BTW, If I use the release version, there is no problem. Same es cluster. ---

Thanks, this is helpful. Does anything change if you try re-authenticating (log out & back in)? I assume you are logging in with `elastic`/`changeme`? What do you see when running Kibana with verbose logs (`yarn start --verbose`)? That may provide a bit more insight as to why you are getting a 401. ---

Thanks for your replay @lukeelmers I tried to log out, the logout itself was successful, but there is still a problem with re-logging, it didn't work. This is my `kibana.dev.yml` 's content, and I used the same account and password to log in: ```auto elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://xx.xx.xx.xx"] elasticsearch.username: "elastic" elasticsearch.password: " ******" elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: none ``` ---

Awhile back we forbid the use of the `elastic` username in local development to avoid bugs, as it is technically a superuser account, which is easy to forget. Instead we recommend using `kibana` (which has the same default password of `changeme` in local development). Try using this in your `kibana.dev.yml` and see if it helps: ```auto elasticsearch.username: "kibana" elasticsearch.password: "changeme" ``` I'm not 100% sure if this will solve your problems as there should be an error related to this in the logs, but worth a shot just to be sure. ---
