You can share a view with others to ensure collaboration when working with records in Adobe Workfront Planning.

IMPORTANT
  • Granting permissions to a workspace does not give other users permissions to the views on the record type pages. You must grant permissions to individual views in a record type page to share them with other users.

  • Granting permissions to a view does not change permissions to viewing the records. Record permissions are granted by sharing workspaces.

  • When you share a view, you give others permissions to access all the elements of the view. For example, when you give them Manage permissions to a view, they can modify the grouping, filter, sort, or bar appearance.

You can share a view with the following entities:

  • Internally, with Workfront users and groups
  • Publicly, with users outside Workfront

  • People outside your organization who have access to a view cannot create other views, edit the shared view, or add, delete, or edit record information in the view.
