Control Who Sees What in an App with Asset Visibility
App Managers and Editors can use the Asset Visibility feature to control the visibility of select assets. Asset visibility is limited for users that are assigned ‘Viewer’ sharing access. Assets remain visible to app Managers and Editors regardless of the asset’s status.
This feature isn't a security control. Hiding an asset removes it from the UI only. All data related to the asset is still accessible. For more information on security controls, see Set Up Dataset Security to Control Access to Rows.
