# Restrict access to changelists

We recommend that you restrict access to changelists by issuing this command: p4 configure set defaultChangeType=restricted

By default, all users can view a pending or submitted changelist, regardless of whether they are permitted access to the files in the changelist by the protections table.

The visibility of restricted changelists:

- Pending changelists: Visible only to owner, regardless of whether other users have access to checked-out files.
- Pending changelists containing shelved files: Users with list (or higher) permission (as specified in the protection table) to one or more of the shelved files can list those files and read the changelist description.
- Submitted changelists: Users with list (or higher) permission (as specified in the protection table) to one or more of the submitted files can list those files and read the changelist description.
