**Spaces** let you organize your content and users according to your needs.
32
+
33
+
- Each space has its own saved objects.
34
+
- Users can only access the spaces that they have been granted access to. This access is based on user roles, and a given role can have different permissions per space.
35
+
- In {{stack}} deployments on version 8.16 and later, each space has its own navigation, called solution view.
36
+
37
+
{{kib}} creates a default space for you. When you create more spaces, users are asked to choose a space when they log in, and can change their current space at any time from the top menu.

To go to **Spaces**, find **Stack Management** in the navigation menu or use the [global search bar](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects.md).

## Create a space [spaces-managing]
54
+
55
+
The maximum number of spaces that you can have differs by deployment type:
56
+
57
+
***Serverless projects:** Maximum of 100 spaces.
58
+
***{{stack}} deployments:** Controlled by the `xpack.spaces.maxSpaces` setting. Default is 1000. View the full list of Space settings in [this document](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/spaces-settings-kb.html).
59

To create a space:
61
+
62
+
::::{tab-set}
63
+
:group: stack-serverless
64
+
65
+
:::{tab-item} {{serverless-short}}
66
+
:sync: serverless
67
+
68
+
1. Click **Create space** or select the space you want to edit.
69
+
2. Provide:
70
+
71
+
* A meaningful name and description for the space.
72
+
* A URL identifier. The URL identifier is a short text string that becomes part of the {{kib}} URL. {{kib}} suggests a URL identifier based on the name of your space, but you can customize the identifier to your liking. You cannot change the space identifier later.
73
+
74
+
3. Customize the avatar of the space to your liking.
75
+
4. Save the space.

+
1. Select **Create space** and provide a name, description, and URL identifier.
82
+
The URL identifier is a short text string that becomes part of the {{kib}} URL when you are inside that space. {{kib}} suggests a URL identifier based on the name of your space, but you can customize the identifier to your liking. You cannot change the space identifier once you create the space.
83
+
84
+
2. Select a **Solution view**. This setting controls the navigation that all users of the space will get:
85
+
***Search**: A light navigation menu focused on analytics and Search use cases. Features specific to Observability and Security are hidden.
86
+
***Observability**: A light navigation menu focused on analytics and Observability use cases. Features specific to Search and Security are hidden.
87
+
***Security**: A light navigation menu focused on analytics and Security use cases. Features specific to Observability and Search are hidden.
88
+
***Classic**: All features from all solutions are visible by default using the classic, multilayered navigation menus. You can customize which features are visible individually.
89
+
90
+
3. If you selected the **Classic** solution view, you can customize the **Feature visibility** as you need it to be for that space.

93

> **Note:** Even when disabled in this menu, some Management features can remain visible to some users depending on their privileges. Additionally, controlling feature visibility is not a security feature. To secure access to specific features on a per-user basis, you must configure [{{kib}} Security](/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/built-in-roles.md).
94
+
95
+
4. Customize the avatar of the space to your liking.
96

5. Save your new space by selecting **Create space**.

You can edit all of the space settings you just defined at any time, except for the URL identifier.
102
+
103
+
Elastic also allows you to manage spaces using APIs:
## Define access to a space [spaces-control-user-access]
110
+
```{applies_to}
111
+
stack: ga
112
+
serverless:
113
+
elasticsearch: ga
114
+
security: ga
115
+
observability: unavailable
116
+
```
117
+
118
+
Users can access spaces based on the roles that they have.
119
+
120
+
* Certain reserved roles can view and access all spaces by default. You can’t prevent those roles from accessing a space. Instead, you can grant different roles to your users.
121
+
* When creating or editing a role, you can define which existing spaces that role can access, and with which permissions. Role management differs between {{stack}} deployments and serverless projects.
122
+
- For Serverless projects, check [Custom roles](/deploy-manage/users-roles/cloud-organization/user-roles.md).
123
+
- For {{stack}} deployments, check [Creating or editing a role](/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/defining-roles.md).
124
+
125
+
126
+
If you're managing an {{stack}} deployment, then you can also assign roles and define permissions for a space from the **Permissions** tab of the space settings.
127
+
128
+
When a role is assigned to *All Spaces*, you can’t remove its access from the space settings. You must instead edit the role to give it more granular access to individual spaces.
129
+
130
+
131
+
132
+
## Delete a space [_delete_a_space]
133
+
134
+
Deleting a space permanently removes the space and all of its contents. Find the space on the **Spaces** overview page and click the trash icon in the Actions column. You can’t delete the default space, but you can customize it to your liking.
135
+
136
+
137
+
## Move saved objects between spaces [spaces-moving-objects]
138
+
139
+
To move saved objects between spaces, you can [copy objects](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/saved-objects.md#managing-saved-objects-copy-to-space), or [export and import objects](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/saved-objects.md#managing-saved-objects-export-objects).
140
+
141
+
142
+
## Configure a space-level landing page [spaces-default-route]
143
+
```{applies_to}
144
+
stack: ga
145
+
serverless: unavailable
146
+
```
147
+
148
+
You can create a custom experience for users by configuring the {{kib}} landing page on a per-space basis. The landing page can route users to a specific dashboard, application, or saved object as they enter each space.
149
+
150
+
To configure the landing page, use the default route setting in [Stack Management > {{kib}} > Advanced settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html#kibana-general-settings). For example, you might set the default route to `/app/dashboards`.
