Hi Marcel, 

Thanks for your reply. 

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like, in your view,
lists viewable to staff would be best implemented as a private list. That has a
'share' button so the user can search for, and select, those staff members they
want the list visible for?

Am I understanding that correctly?

Thanks
Alex
