What are Viewing Restrictions?

When viewing restrictions are enabled, individuals who are not designated as responsible parties will not be able to access the content. Even those who are registered as watchers will be unable to view the content during this restriction. It is important to note that viewing restrictions only take effect once the flow is created; while you can configure settings on a flow template, the restrictions will not apply until the flow is established.
