Hello, I have created a set of visuals within dashboard within a space. I do not want anyone to change these dashboards / visuals in this space. The user can create or change dashboards / visuals in other spaces. Is there a way to restricted users from editing these dashboards / visuals in a certain space? Alternatively, can I "turn off" edit access to these dashboards / visuals? Mike ---

Absolutely. You can create a user with a role which restricts access to whichever space you want. Please take a look at this [Spaces | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/xpack-spaces.html) & [Security | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/xpack-security.html) Thanks, Bhavya ---

I should have made it clear that the user will have access to all the spaces in the account including the space I don’t want any edits on dashboard or visuals. ---

Hi @Amphagory Can you expand a bit more give us a sense what you are looking. Are there different Dashboards in Each Space or Each Space has its own dashboards and indices. User A with Role Y Space A, User A Access to All Dashboards Read / Write to all Dashboards Space B, User A Access to All Dashboards Read / Write to all Dashboards Space C, User A Access to All Dashboards Read Only to all Dashboards Is that what you are asking for? Or can you give an example like this? ---

For this approach you would need to use DLS - [Document level security | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/document-level-security.html) ---

Hello @[stephenb](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/stephenb), Your example is a valid example. User A has access to all the spaces and indices where he can edit dashboards and visuals. I want to create either i) A role where User A can Read / Write to all Dashboards and visuals in space A and B. In space C, I only want User A to have read access to all dashboards and visuals. Space A, User A Access to All Dashboards Read / Write to all Dashboards Space B, User A Access to All Dashboards Read / Write to all Dashboards Space C, User A Access to All Dashboards Read Only to all Dashboards OR ii) Limit the edit access to dashboards and visuals to say superuser only. Therefore User A can not edit these dashboards and visuals. I hope that clears things up, Mike ---
