SharePoint views depending on user groups

Question

Hi, I have a problem. I have a list of documents in a SharePoint library, and there are different columns for the "All documents" view and other columns for the "Visitor View." I want the "All documents" view to be default for SharePoint site admin groups, and I want the "Visitor View" to be default for users with viewer rights.

Additionally, viewers should not be able to switch the view to "All documents" from the "Visitor View."

Is there any way to achieve this?

I was thinking of creating a JSON file to check if the user is a part of the admin group and hide several columns from views if the user has no such rights.

For example, I could create a custom view with columns and create a JSON script for each columns that I don't want to be visible for users with only visitor view rights.

ChatGPT gave me the script, but it does not work

Hi @lablefromu ,

You can try to use Document Library Web Part to make it.

1. Create a blank Site Page and name it Visitor View.
2. Then add a Document Library web part, select the target Library, and click Edit Web Part.
3. First switch the view to Visitor View, then in the editing panel on the right, check Hide command bar and Hide "See all" Button. The final result will be as shown below:

4. After completing the above settings, Publish the Page.
5. Click Share in the upper right corner of the Page, select the appropriate Permission, and share the Page to users who need to view this view.

Have a nice day!
