Shared Filter usage in segments, without having editing rights to that shared filter

Thijs G.

Imagine this; as an admin I'm setting up "shared filters" in order to easily tweak certain broad rules to exclude contacts within all our segments.

Optimally I would like to ensure no other people can edit the shared filters by accident, BUT are still able to add them as a shared filter in their segment. Thus I can remove editing rights of the shared list of our "light users".

But, today Eloqua does not allow this; if you do not have editing rights to a shared filter, you can not add and save it in to your segment.

If the person would add the shared filter as a copy in the segment, this would leave them with a copy in the segment, and not be up to date with any changes. So that's not a good alternative.

It's too easy for users to accidentally modify your shared filters, there should at least be a really clear warning and indeed a control to limit edit rights on critical shared filters while still keeping them usable,
