Restrict a SP library for uploaders
To prevent users from creating or editing views while still allowing them to upload and edit documents, configure a custom permission level.
- Create a new permission level
- Using it on your existing “Contribute no delete” level.
- Name it: “Contribute no delete, no list & view update”
- Remove / uncheck the following permissions in the new permission level:
- Manage Personal Views: prevents users from creating or modifying their own personal views.
- Manage Lists: prevents users from creating or modifying public views and other list settings.
- Assign this new permission level to users in the library instead of the default one.
Users: can add and edit documents, but cannot tamper with views or list settings.
Auditors/Owners: retain higher‑level permissions (Edit or Full Control) so they can manage views and see all documents.

- Create a new permission level
Did test with a coworker, the filter worked and as you pointed out he built a new view which allowed him to see everything.
Right now the group is set for contribute no delete, how do i prevent them from creating any custom views?
Odds are they will not change, but want to be proactive.
Can i load the document library view onto a SP and prevent view changes?
