In a new path exploration created to observe user interactions, what is the default visibility setting for the exploration?

The default visibility setting for a new path exploration in Google Analytics 4 is that only the creator can see it, and it can be shared in read-only mode. This approach ensures that user-generated explorations remain private to the creator initially, allowing for experimentation and analysis without the concern of others accessing or modifying the exploration.

By keeping it private by default, GA4 encourages users to create tailored analyses without the pressure of immediate visibility. Once the creator is satisfied with the insights gathered, they have the option to share the exploration with others in a controlled manner, typically in read-only format. This allows stakeholders to view and understand the data without the risk of them unintentionally altering the exploration.

The other visibility settings, such as public access for all users or automatic sharing with all stakeholders, are not reflective of the platform's designed privacy and control features. Providing access to all admins or making it public could lead to potential misuse and confusion around the analysis data, which is why a more reserved default setting is established.
