Manage list sharing settings

By default, everyone with edit access to a list can grant others view or edit access. You can limit this so that for all lists in your workspace or organisation, only the list owner can grant access to others. If you don’t adjust this setting, members of your workspace or organisation can choose whether to limit sharing on lists that they create.
