HI, i have created users, roles and spaces in kibana, and those users are not able to set or view advanced settings, but i'd like to set for them defaultRoute. Is it possible to set that setting for a user without being connected with that user?

thanks

It is not possible. Only users with write permissions to a Space can change Advanced Settings at this time.

Thanks, so defaultRoute is a property for the space not for the user? Can i have a user with write permission to set it and all other users with read only for the space will have the same defaultRoute?

That is correct, is not per-user, but per-space. All users will get the same defaultRoute when they're in that space. A write permission user can set it, and then all write and read users will see it.
