I have a Custom List that I will have people entering data into from an InfoPath form. However, I do not want anybody to be able to see this list. Is there a way to hide a list form users?
While it is easy to “hide” the list through Designer, you’ll want to remember that this is not a security feature. “Hiding” the list means that it won’t show up under “View All Site Content”. Any user with permissions to the list can still access the list directly or indirectly in a wide variety of ways.
If you don’t want users to view data in the list, then you may want to consider using the out of the box item level security feature (list settings/advanced settings) or set permissions after a list item has been created by using a 2010 Designer workflow and an impersonation step.
There is a gotcha with an impersonation step – alerts fire before permissions are set. So, you may want to remove the users ability to set alerts via a custom permission level.
Yes it is possible by using SP Designer
Just open your SP Designer(I am using SPD2013) with your credentials.
Open All Files from left pane then open Lists Folder.Where you find all your custom lists.Right click on the list and properties window will open
then under Settings Group you will find an option to Hide from browser .Check the option and save(ctrl+s).Open your site and you don’t find the appropriate list there.
Let me inform if any confusion.
