Question

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.

Workaround

It is possible to prevent the proliferation of filters in the dropdown by naming them consistently (Sales, Support, SysAdmin, Dev) and then using BugMonkey customizations to hide the ones that are not relevant to you or your team. You can make the customization required for groups of users you want to keep from seeing the filter.

Answer 1

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.
