Add a Shared folder (Admin topic)

Note: This procedure is available to users with the CanManageSharedFavorites permission.

If you have the CanManageSharedFavorites permission, you can create Shared folders for favorites. Shared favorites are views to be shared amongst a group of users. These views can be organized into collections of views through the use of shared folders. Only users with appropriate permissions can configure shared favorites and folders.

You must organize Shared favorites into Shared folders. This creates various collections of views to share with different groups of people. See Manage Shared favorite groups (Admin topic).
