 Use the **Privilege** menu to grant access to features. The default is **Custom**, which you can use to grant access to individual features. Otherwise, you can grant read and write access to all current and future features by selecting **All**, or grant read access to all current and future features by selecting **Read**.

-If a feature is hidden using the Spaces disabled features, it will remain hidden even if the user has the necessary privileges.

 When using the **Customize by feature** option, you can choose either **All**, **Read** or **None** for access to each feature. As new features are added to Kibana, roles that use the custom option do not automatically get access to the new features. You must manually update the roles.
 
 NOTE: Machine Learning and Stack Monitoring rely on built-in roles to grant access. When a user is assigned the appropriate roles, the Machine Learning and Stack Monitoring application are available; otherwise, these applications are not visible.

 ==== Assigning different privileges to different spaces
 
 Using the same role, it’s possible to assign different privileges to different spaces. After you’ve added space privileges, click **Add space privilege**. If you’ve already added privileges for either *** Global (all spaces)** or an individual space, you will not be able to select these in the **Spaces** selection control.
