You cannot see a Space
A Space you expect is missing because you are not a member, it is invite only, your Account lost Spaces access, or a collaboration ended.

Work through the message you actually see. Each one has a different cause and a different fix.
Spaces access required
Full text: Conversations appear after this account has Spaces access.
Your account does not have access to Spaces at all, so no Space can appear. Ask an Account administrator to grant your account access to the Spaces app.
No conversations yet
Full text: Conversations will appear once you have Spaces access.
You have access but belong to nothing yet. Choose Explore Spaces and join one, or ask a Space admin to add you. See Explore and join a Space.
Access required
Full text: You do not have permission to view this Spaces conversation.
You opened a link to a channel you are not a member of. Ask somebody in that channel to add you.
No Spaces are available to join right now.
You are looking at Explore Spaces and nothing is open to your Account. Only Spaces set to Everyone in your organization are listed. A Space set to Invite only never appears anywhere until somebody adds you: Only people who are added can see this Space. Ask a Space admin for an invite.
Space discovery is not available for this organization yet.
Self-service joining is not turned on for your Account, so there is no directory to browse. A Space admin has to add you.

This is a failure to read the list, not a permission problem. Choose Retry.
A Space that used to be there has gone
Three causes, in order of likelihood.
- You or somebody else used Leave Space. Ask a Space admin to add you again, or rejoin from Explore Spaces if the Space is open to your Account.
- The Space was reached through a collaboration with another Account, and the collaboration ended, its grant expired, or its owner turned Collaboration access off. Nothing is shown when this happens. Ask the owning Account's administrator. See Cross-Account access.
- The Space was deleted. Delete Space cannot be undone.
The Space is there but has no channels
Full text: You joined this Space, but it does not have any channels yet. A Space administrator can create one.
The Space exists and you are a member. Ask a Space administrator to create a channel, or create one yourself if you may.
