You can control access to queries by setting permissions, which let you configure users and groups to create, delete, view, and manage shared queries and query folders.
My Queries:
- Create and edit: All users, except users in the Readers group, can create and edit their own queries.
- View: Only the signed-in user can view queries in their My Queries space.
Shared Queries:
- Permissions: By default, only Project Administrators can create, edit, or change permissions for queries and folders.
- Team management: Create separate folders for each team under Shared Queries to allow them to manage their own set of shared queries.
For more information, see Organize queries.
