Views can be assigned a “Type” designation of either Personal, Shared, or Global. The designation controls who can access the views and who can edit them. All users can assign a view a Personal or Shared designation. Only administrators can assign views a Global designation. See Access to Views for information about views you can access and how you can work with them.
