Assign a default space to a kibana user

[ambarcincedo]

Describe the feature: Kibana currently supports multiple spaces and multiple user accounts. Every time a user logs into Kibana, the user has to choose a space. The ask here is to allow a default space to be assigned to a user account, so that admins do not have to educate users which space they should select. It is also annoying for users to repeatedly have to select a space, if they only have privileges to one space.

Describe a specific use case for the feature:

1. Kibana admin account creates multiple spaces and would like different users to have visibility into a specific spaces.
2. She creates an executive user account and assigns read privileges to only the executive space and indexes specific to visualizations in that space.
3. Executive user logs in and automatically sees the executive space (without having to figure out which space to choose).

To be clear, this is already the behavior of spaces and RBAC. If a user only has access to a single space, she will automatically be brought to that space upon login and does not see the space selector or any other spaces. So this feature is only useful when a user has access to many spaces but wants to always go directly to one of them in particular on login.

This is not the behavior I am observing. I created a user and gave read access to a single space. This user is always presented with the space selector on login (I am using version 7.1).

This sounds like a bug then, as the intended behavior is to show you only the spaces you have access to and to automatically bring you into your space if you only have access to one. Can you open an issue using the bug report template so we can get the relevant details including steps to reproduce?

Sounds good - will do.

Can I still vote it for an enhancement candidate? “when a user has access to many spaces but always go directly to one of them in particular on login”
