You can't prevent users from creating private list views. That being said, you must make a consious effort to make sure users can't access records by configuring your organization's Sharing Settings.

What if I want to prevent certain users from view particular data fields (e.g. contact address) in a record if they are not the contact owner and have a particular role.

 

I do want to allow these same users to view/edit contact address for contacts they own. Field-level crud (making the field hidden for a particular profile) hides the field in all scenarios, which is too restrictive.

Hi,

 

Well, there is always a way, but it needs some development:

 

Y can create a javascript embeded in a home component which is always checking the generated whole page. When it catches a user in a list view, just delete the DOM Element which label is "create new view".

 

Good luck!

Arguably, your point is invalid. Client-based security is pointless. What's to stop me from writing a GreaseMonkey script that blocks your attempt to block my attempt to create a list view? Better, I can use something like an "ad blocker" extension to stop your script from loading entirely. Worst case, I can just turn off JavaScript, click Create New View (thus negating your script), and then turning it back on.

You might stop a novice from creating a list view, but you'll also be ignoring the larger problem: they can still access all records they are shared with. List views are a convenience for users that shouldn't be taken away from them. Spending any time developing a "solution" to block the creation of list views rather than focusing on sharing settings is definitely not the way to go.
