## Remarks

- Affects only the calling user: hiding a common view does not hide it from other users. No
  special vault rights are needed.
- Works for common views and for the user's own private views. Hidden views are still returned
  by [GetViews](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCViews/GetViews/index.md), with `is_visible` false.
