How to limit the Drupal 8 & 9 Content view to show only editable content

Thankfully, there is a module for that, but the documentation isn’t great.

  1. Install the Views Node Access Filter module
  2. Edit the Content view (URL: example.com/admin/structure/views/view/content, UI Path: Structure > Views > Content > Edit)
    Views Node Access Filter module view edit
  3. With Default display selected, click add a Filter Criteria
    Views Node Access Filter module add filter
  4. Check Editable and click Add and configure filter criteria
    Views Node Access Filter Module Editable
  5. Click Apply
    Views Node Access Filter Module Apply
  6. Save the view
    Views Node Access Filter Module Save

Now the Content view will only show the user the content that they are able to edit.
