:applies_to: {"stack": "ga 9.2", "serverless": "ga"}
Some data views are managed by Elastic and cannot be edited. However, you can [duplicate them](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/data-views.md#duplicate-managed-data-view) and make changes to duplicated versions without affecting managed data views.
:::

To learn how to modify the default **Security Default Data View**, refer to [Update default {{elastic-sec}} indices](/solutions/security/get-started/configure-advanced-settings.md#update-sec-indices).

To learn how to modify, create, or delete another {{data-source}} refer to [{{kib}} {{data-sources-cap}}](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/data-views.md).

You can also temporarily modify the active {{data-source}} from the **{{data-source-cap}}** menu by clicking **Advanced options**, then adding or removing index patterns.

This only allows you to add index patterns that match indices that currently contain data (other index patterns are unavailable). Note that any changes made are saved in the current browser window and won’t persist if you open a new tab.

## The default {{data-source}} [default-data-view-security]

The default {{data-source}} is defined by the `securitySolution:defaultIndex` setting, which you can modify in [advanced settings](/solutions/security/get-started/configure-advanced-settings.md#update-sec-indices).
::::{note}
If you modify this view directly in the Edit data view UI, the changes will not persist.
::::


The first time a user visits {{elastic-sec}} within a given {{kib}} [space](/deploy-manage/manage-spaces.md), the default {{data-source}} generates in that space and becomes active.

::::{note}
:applies_to: stack: ga
In {{stack}}, your {{kib}} space must have the **Data View Management** [feature visibility](/deploy-manage/manage-spaces.md) setting enabled for the default {{data-source}} to generate and become active in your space.
