Methods and systems for access controlled spaces for data analytics and visualization

A system comprising:

• a processor, and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
• establishing a default space for a user, the default space being a secure container;
• selecting one or more other spaces for the user from a plurality of spaces;
• creating and storing a unique identifier for each space of the plurality of spaces other than the default space, wherein the unique identifier is stored on objects saved in the respective space of the plurality of spaces, wherein absence of the unique identifier for saved object indicates the saved objects belongs to the default space;
• based on at least one role of the user, controlling access by a user to the default space and to the one or more other spaces of the plurality of spaces, such that the user can access the default space and the one or more other spaces;
• automatically placing some or all of the user's saved data objects that existed before the default space was generated, into the default space, the saved data objects being stored in the default space, the saved data objects including configuration data comprising a plurality of index patterns to indicate which search engine indices to explore;
• providing a user interface for enabling the user to select, as a current space, the default space or one of the one or more other spaces;
• enabling the user to upload data, analyze data, develop visualized charts and dashboards within the current space and collaborate with other users that have access to the current space;
• in response to the user selecting the current space, automatically saving new objects generated by the user into the current space;
• and
• generating visualizations and dashboards using the saved data objects, wherein the visualizations and dashboards comprise histograms, line graphs, pie charts, or sunbursts.

A system comprising:

• means for establishing a default space for a user, the default space being a secure container;
• means for selecting one or more other spaces for the user from a plurality of spaces;
• means for creating and storing a unique identifier for each space of the plurality of spaces other than the default space, wherein the unique identifier is stored on objects saved in the respective space of the plurality of spaces, wherein absence of the unique identifier for saved object indicates the saved objects belongs to the default space;
• based on at least one role of the user, means for controlling access by a user to the default space and to the one or more other spaces of the plurality of spaces, such that the user can access the default space and the one or more other spaces;
• means for automatically placing some or all of the user's saved data objects that existed before the default space was generated, into the default space, the saved data objects being stored in the default space, the saved data objects including configuration data comprising a plurality of index patterns to indicate which search engine indices to explore;
