We work a lot with filters in out setup, and it is extremely useful to pin filters by default. Especially because we work with a series of dashboards, where the filters should be carried from one to another. But... It's not very useful for us that the filters are pinned across all **users**. If one user needs to view the dashboards in a certain context always, but another user has another need. So my question is: Is there a setting that sets all filters to only apply per user, but still maintain that they are pinned by default? My best idea for a workaround would be a space per user, but it amounts to a lot of duplicate spaces then... ---

@_Louw, A space per user would certainly to the trick, but as you mentioned, that would result in a lot of duplication. Kibana recently introduced the concept of a "Saved Query", which allows you to save your current query and filters so that they can be re-used in future sessions, or across applications (Discover, Visualize, & Dashboard): [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/save-load-delete-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/save-load-delete-query.html). This won't pin them, but it would let you easily re-use your filters. If that doesn't suit your needs, then there's unfortunately not much else I can recommend at the moment. We have an open issue to provide per-user profiles and settings inside Kibana, but it's not implemented yet: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17888](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17888) ---
