Creating new views

Hi Looker Community,

Was wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. I am looking to build a report off a newly created view but I only want this view to be sitting behind the report and do not want it to be exposed to other users in production. Is there a way to create a view but make it hidden to other users?

Thanks,

It’s possible but with a bit of a catch. UI and access are two different things, thus if you only want to stop people from seeing this explore, you can use parameter hidden: yes on explore level.

It will still be accessible through the URL but only if people now the URL, which means they need to know the name of the model and explore.
