Hello everyone,

I need a little information, is it possible to create a user on kibana and give him access to a certain dashboard? Or is he obliged to have access to all of them?

If it is possible to do it, how to do it?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi @meyer1! Yes, you can accomplish this through [Kibana Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.4/xpack-spaces.html). Basically, you'll want to create a space for this specific dashboard to live in, then give the user access to that space. Any dashboards you wish to restrict from this user would need to live in a separate space to which that user does not have access.
