Manage Collaborator Permissions

Understand Owner, Collaborator, and Viewer permissions for shared lists.

Last updated February 4, 2026

When you share a list, you choose what each collaborator can do. Permissions control list editing and list management actions.

The owner is the person who created the list.

Owners can:

  • Change list settings (name, description, type, public/private)
  • Archive/unarchive or delete the list
  • Add, remove, and update collaborator permissions
  • Enable or disable syncing for shared lists

Collaborators can:

  • View the list
  • Add items to the list
  • Remove items from the list

Collaborators can’t change list settings or manage other collaborators.

Viewers can:

  • View the list and its items

Viewers can’t add or remove items.

  1. Open the list.
  2. Click Share.
  3. In the Collaborators section, use the permission dropdown next to a user.
