Currently, filters can be either personal or shared. It would be nice to share filters for specific groups only, so that only users which have access to those groups also see the filters.

	This would be very nice indeed! – cdeszaq Feb 10 2010 at 15:41
	Indeed. If it is a simple filter, where the filter is limiting cases to a particular project or group, to have the limited sharing automatically (or default to such). – Kris K. Feb 12 2010 at 16:39
	Agreed. We have a few hundred users in FB and we're still growing. We've had to disallow shared filters because the natural volume would spam everyone in teams that didn't care about 99% of them. – Marc Moroz Feb 15 2010 at 22:48

	This would be very useful. Even more useful if any user listed as group admin could create and delete shared filters for the group. – Manfre Oct 6 2010 at 14:37

We have a case open to consider this feature for a future release. Please up-vote this question to show your support for adding this feature.

The workaround right now is to use this BugMonkey script to hide certain shared filters that you don't need. You can use a naming convention and turn on the customization for all the users who don't need a certain set of filters.

name:          Suppress Sysadmin Global Filters
description:   Gets rid of sysadmin filters
author:        Rich Armstrong
version:       1.0.0.0

js:

$("#filterPopup").find("a").each(function(){
  if(/^\s*(FooBar|SysAdmin)/.test($(this).text())){
    $(this).hide();
  }
});

What is the status of this feature request ? Would we be able to share Filters with individual people/groups anytime soon ?
