# Kibana advanced settings
**Advanced Settings** control the behavior of Kibana. You can change the settings that apply to a specific space only, or to all of Kibana. For example, you can change the format used to display dates, specify the default data view, and apply your own branding.
<warning>
  Changing a setting can affect Kibana performance and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. Setting a property value to a blank field reverts to the default behavior, which might not be compatible with other configuration settings. Deleting a custom setting permanently removes it from Kibana.
</warning>

Settings on this page are ordered as they appear in Kibana.

## Required permissions

You must have the `Advanced Settings` Kibana privilege to access the **Advanced Settings** page.
When you have insufficient privileges to edit advanced settings, the edit options are not visible, and the following indicator shows:
![Example of Advanced Settings Management's read only access indicator in Kibana's header](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/reference/kibana/images/settings-read-only-badge.png)
To add the privilege, go to the **Roles** management page using the navigation menu or the [global search field](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects).
For more information on granting access to Kibana, refer to [Granting access to Kibana](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/reference/elasticsearch/roles).

## Change the space-specific setting

Change the settings that apply only to a specific Kibana space.
1. Go to the **Advanced settings** page using the navigation menu or the [global search field](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects).
2. Click **Space Settings**.
3. Scroll or search for the setting.
4. Make your change, then click **Save changes**.
