## Overview

The service has one method,
[GetViewsAndUsersAdmin](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCViewsAdmin/GetViewsAndUsersAdmin/index.md). M-Files Admin uses
it when it exports the structure of a vault, to list the views it can include. To read and
manage the caller's own views and the common views, use [IRPCViews](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCViews/index.md).
