Who can edit

The Who can edit selector in the Create View dialog lets you pick the view's permission type at creation time, instead of creating a collaborative view and switching modes later.

OptionDescription
CollaborativeAll collaborators can edit the view configuration. (Default)
PersonalOnly you can edit the view configuration. You become the view owner.
LockedNo one can edit the view configuration until it is unlocked.
Editors see only Collaborative and Personal options. The Locked option is available to Creators and Owners only. A view's permission type can always be changed later from the View Toolbar Menu.
