Hi,

Assume we run Kibana 6.6 without X-Pack security enabled.  
We'd like to create multiple Spaces and to display the default (or any specific Space) once opening the Kibana UI.

The current behavior is that a user needs to choose Space every time he opens the Kibana.

Thanks,

Spaces needs a Basic or above license level - [https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).

Basic is entirely free though.

I know that, it doesn't answer my question though 🙂

@tomeri that isn't possible yet, but it sounds like an interesting idea!

Your only solution at this point is to bookmark specific URLs into Kibana with your preferred space.
