I don't have permissions to right click\design views or to script the views. Is there another way to see the source SELECT statement? I don't see anything under the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS.

If you don't have permission, you won't have permission period, but the command-line way to get the text is:
EXEC sys.sp_helptext 'view_name'

Thank you. I tried out the EXEC statement and received an error. I'm guessing it's because I don't have adequate permissions, like you said.

Likely you don't have permission. The best way is just to ask someone. They might not give you permissions, but I'd hope they would send you the definition.
