SharePoint list Custom view specific permission
I have a large SharePoint list. I have created few custom views to share with other departments.
My question is about custom view specific permissions. Say, user1 to have permissions to have read access on “view A” but not to other saved views. Similarly user2 to have permissions to have read access on “view B” but not other saved views.
Any hint is highly appreciated.
Thanks

If you are using SharePoint on-premise version or classic pages/lists in SharePoint online then you can set Target Audiences on list view. That might help you to achieve this. Check below video link for step by step explanation:
SharePoint Views with Audience Targeting
If you are trying to achieve this in SharePoint online/2019 modern experience then currently there is no way to limit list view access based on user permissions.

I understand with SharePoint online list views, we can't control permissions.
But, can I email a link of a view, to a specific person? I don't want others to see that view because there are few confidential columns made visible.

Sending a link of specific list view via email will not restrict user from seeing other list views. If user knows how to switch the list view in SharePoint online then they can switch and see other list views from view selection dropdown:
User can switch the list views even via List web part added on site page (I have tried this before).

Hello,
I had this same issue and found a work around. I copied the SharePoint list which was very easy using the MS Lists interface and created a Flow in Power Automate to sync the desired data. I hope this helps you.
mrscloud2014 can you please provide some more detail on how you achieved this in Power Automate
- any updates or can we resurface this conversation to get MS to create it somehow ?
- +1 for those wishing MS would implement audience targeting for list views in Sharepoint Online!
