# Create a shared exception list

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `POST` `/api/exceptions/shared`
- `POST` `/s/{space_id}/api/exceptions/shared`

- [Api key auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/v8/authentication#apikeyauth)
- [Basic auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/v8/authentication#basicauth)

## Description

Refer to [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/manage-spaces) for more information.

An exception list groups exception items and can be associated with detection rules. A shared exception list can apply to multiple detection rules.
> info
> All exception items added to the same list are evaluated using `OR` logic. That is, if any of the items in a list evaluate to `true`, the exception prevents the rule from generating an alert. Likewise, `OR` logic is used for evaluating exceptions when more than one exception list is assigned to a rule. To use the `AND` operator, you can define multiple clauses (`entries`) in a single exception item.
