Find Which Airtable Account Owns the Public Airtable View

You have a public Airtable view link, but no one in the company remembers who created it. The view is still live, and you want to remove it. But without knowing which account it belongs to, you are stuck.

The good part is that a public view link already contains all the clues you need to find its original base, table, and view inside Airtable.

Understanding the Public View Link

Take this example: https://airtable.com/appZRKaehooiA4IrY/shrXsQK8XjD5I5oE5/tblrstWifJPqeVImF/viw04bImkLcny9ORC

Each part of this link has meaning:

• appZRKaehooiA4IrY → Base ID

• shrXsQK8XjD5I5oE5 → Public share ID (for the shared view)

• tblrstWifJPqeVImF → Table ID

• viw04bImkLcny9ORC → View ID

Even if the view ID part is missing, the base and table IDs are enough to locate where it belongs.

Converting It into an Internal Link

Airtable uses the same structure for internal editor links. You can turn the public link into an internal one by removing the “shared” section.

For the example above, change it to this:
https://airtable.com/appZRKaehooiA4IrY/tblrstWifJPqeVImF/viw04bImkLcny9ORC

If your Airtable account has access to the base, this will open the same table and view inside your workspace.

If not, Airtable will show an error, which means it exists but belongs to another workspace.
