Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to only show certain indices for a particular kibana space?

Currently I have multiple spaces and data is able to be seen from different spaces.

Thanks,  
Neil

You can control which roles have access to each space. To get started, navigate to the Management \> Roles screen.

Access to spaces is governed by a concept called “Minimum Privilege”. There are three options for the minimum privilege:

| **Minimum Privilege** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| all | Users will have read/write access to all spaces in Kibana. Additionally, they will be able to create, edit, and delete any space in Kibana. This extends to spaces that are created in the future. |
| read | Users will have read-only access to all spaces in Kibana. This extends to spaces that are created in the future. |
| none | Users cannot access any space in Kibana. |

here are examples of how to set it :[Introducing Kibana Spaces for Organization and Security | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-kibana-spaces-for-organization-and-security)

Thanks

Hi Rashmi, is it possible to make a certain ES index accessible to a certain group of users? or spaces?

With role-based access control (RBAC), you can provide users access to data, tools, and Kibana spaces. Here is a tutorial which walks you through a scenario - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/space-rbac-tutorial.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/space-rbac-tutorial.html)

this explains, roles, minimum privileges, users, space etc.

Hope it helps  
Thanks  
Rashmi
