View sharing
You can now control who can see and edit views in Canny Ideas. This is built for larger teams with many view and admins.
How it works
By default, the owner of a view is the user who created it. New views start out private to their owner. Existing views before this update are unchanged and are editable by any admins with view edit permissions.
Open the view's menu by clicking or right-clicking the selected tab, then choose Share.

From there you can add individual teammates, set general or team access, and pick an access level for each. Teams are groups of admins and can be managed here.

Access levels
- Owner: Full control, including sharing and deletion
- Can edit: Change the view's name, filters, columns, and sort
- Can see: Open and use the view. Any changes are not saved.
Good to know
- The default "All Ideas" and "Portal" views are always shared with the entire team
- Admin roles and permissions takes precedence over view share settings. Therefore, contributor-level admins will not be able to edit view.
View sharing is available for teams on the Business plan.
