Can different Views for different User Categories be created in SharePoint?

Question

I need to limit different Users to view only the information assigned to them in their View. For exapmle (Sales will only see what is in Sales's View).

Thanks,

Answer 1

Not entirely sure I understand your question, but you can try enabling audience targeting (List Settings -> Audience Targeting Settings ) and then create a Sales view with a filter, setting the Target Audience = Sales (assuming you have a Sales group).

There are a number of products that claim to implement column level permissions: Google

Answer 2

Yes, but it depends on the actual information you need to save. For instance, if every document/item has one and only one department attached to them, you can create multiple folders in the root of your document library/list and assign read permissions on those folders. Then, create a recursive view to combine all folders together.

You can use audience targeting as well, just be aware that it hides information from users only visually - they can still access it, if they know the URL.

You can use Infowise Smart List Lite which is a free solution for view permissions, column permissions, tab permissions and more. it's basically a tool that helps using SharePoint lists as a real forms. Infowise Smart List lite is the light version of Smart List Pro. the only difference between them is that Smart List lite is limited for 3 sets of rules (and it's also free :)).
