View Settings: Allow Export: Exporting entries as CSV or TSV from GravityView

When exporting entries, only the fields configured in the View will be shown. If a user can not see a field by accessing the View, they will not be able to access it by CSV export.

In View Settings, click on the tab named "Permissions" and check the box named "Allow Export"
