I have full control for a site that displays a datasheet view on a page. When I use the page sometimes I change how wide the columns are by just dragging them over one way or another. I do not specifically change the view by modifying the web part and assumed that when I did this no one else would be affected. Recently it seems that when I do this the change is seen on other user's computers and when they try to readjust the columns in their view by dragging them, it asks them to authenticate. It seems to me that I am actually changing the view by dragging the column widths and because I am an admin SharePoint is fine with it, but when a contributor tries the same thing it complains. I do not recall this being the standard behavior for SharePoint datagrid views. Can anyone offer any insight? I don't want any adjustments I make while using the site become design changes.

Hi, Thank you for your post. I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. Appreciate your patience.

I am sorry but your answer was not the answer to my issue. Neither have I had a chance to install fiddler on a user's computer that is experiencing these promts for authentication to troubleshoot as there are much more pressing issues. I would like to state that I was not trying to resize the coulmns for everyone else. Also regardless of anything else that I do or do not do, if a user with less than design permissions on a list and they try to resize a choice column, they get prompted for authentication, which they can completely ignore with no ill effects. It is weird and confsing for the users.
