how did you received the dashboard id number? I have done this via API many time over with different combination. never done it via command line ---

I think perhaps you are calling the [export API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard-api-export.html) incorrectly Looks like you are missing the `export` part of the path? Also looks like you have `dashboard` singular instead of `dashboards` The API may have changed slight over versions `curl -X GET "localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=942dcef0-b2cd-11e8-ad8e-85441f0c2e5c" -H 'kbn-xsrf: true'` ---

@elasticforme: i followed the blog i mentioned in the original post @stephenb: you're correct. i missed some in the command line. tired eyes yesterday. these allowed me to export/import the dashboard to another space. - export Dashboard curl -k -u elastic:mypassword [https://vm21:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=42ad2f70-e937-11e9-8780-d10befb3ed2b](https://vm21:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=42ad2f70-e937-11e9-8780-d10befb3ed2b) \> export.json - import Dashboard curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" -u elastic:mypassword [https://vm21:5601/s/testspace1/api/kibana/dashboards/import](https://vm21:5601/s/testspace1/api/kibana/dashboards/import) --data-binary @export.json when i login as testuser (who i gave access to testspace1). It loads the dashboard but a box pops out (lower right corner) with "Unable to update UI setting. Request failed with status code: 403" ---
