This API is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release. The underlying Spaces concepts are stable, but the APIs for managing Spaces are currently experimental.

Creates a new Kibana space. To update an existing space, use the PUT command.

Note: You cannot access this endpoint via the Console in Kibana.
