To get a list of Views and what permissions are assigned to each one

Question

A client has got to a point where people are making so many common views and not assigned correct permissions to them that the list of common views that everyone sees is getting very large.

I would like to run a report or get a list of all the views and what permissions are assigned to each one.

Even better, I would like to also get out what the rules of the views are.

Cheers
Pete

You could export common views to an export package and inspect the generated XML for view rules and permissions. 
 Please follow the instructions in the article below until step 4:

 For step 5, select "Export Structure" select Views-> Common User-defined views. 
 After export, go to the file location (the file path will be in the tab Package Location, it is usually "C:\M-Files Content Packages\Out\"), then open the folder Metadata and open the file Structure. This file is an XML document, so the easiest way to visualize it is opening it with Excel. 
 It takes some effort to find the information and there are a lot of columns and each rule/permission has their own row, but hide the ones that you do not need.
