Ok, that helped a lot. I was able to modify the shared view for
everyone. Now - one more Q. How do I prevent everyone from modifying
it? I have a user that is a memeber of the contributors group (but is a
domain admin in NT) and he can still edit the shared view. Is it
becasue of his NT rights? I thought it was only tied to the SPS group
rights defined in site settings.
