I want to restrict users to view list items which are not created by them.
Example: If I create a list item in a document library, Only I can view it, others should not see that information)
Is there any way to complete this task?

Are you allowed to use server side code? In that case I would hock up an event receiver on the library that on ItemCreated breaks permissions on the item and assign permissions only to the creator of it.– Robert LindgrenCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 9:22

I don't have much permission to the site to customize site and list item. I can write only client side javascript. If coding can work means. Please tell me where to start and write code?– Sahul HameedCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 9:26

I do not think you can use client-side code (since you can not elevate permissions, your user would need to have "Manage Permissions" rights)– Robert LindgrenCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 9:37

You need to manage the permissions at List level for this and even at item level.
First of all, Goto List settings > Permissions > Stop inheriting Permissions.
For settings List item level permissions you can see this link in our forum.
Please let me know if you have any other query.

If you're talking about a list, not a document library, then you can do this:
Go to list settings -> advanced settings ->
Read access: Specify which items users are allowed to read
select: Read items that were created by the user.
Same setting for "edit access". On document libraries this option is not available, I don't know why. There you could try using "Target Audiences" but I have no experience with that. I read that it only restricts the access on UI-Level. If users would try to access it via JSOM/CSOM this would still work.

sorry I found out you need to additionally : Goto List settings > Permissions > Stop inheriting Permissions. Then it worked for me.– GwnyCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 10:58
Create a custom view for the list with a filter as Created by: [Me].

This only hides it from the view, it is not a permission setting. Users can still find the items not created by themselfs by using another view, or by doing a search for example Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 9:14

Oh my, somehow my thoughts turned the question to how to limit the view on the page. I updated the answer, and at least some time ago this solution worked for me.– moeCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 9:18

my scenario is : if list item created by me, then I only can view the list item value. Others shouldn't see the list item which i created. Commented Aug 6, 2014 at 9:19
You need to set item level permission dynamically based on user.
So you can create a workflow for that list in which condition is like current user is equal to Author and Action is Replace Item level permission.

Try, I hope it works.
