While I am trying to join linked views by right clicking the pop up menu, a "joins" option does not appear at the bottom of the menu as it says it should in the instructions. I am attempting to filter views to only include specific departments for each person set with a Views authority. Any help on this matter?

Hello,

To link two Views, right mouse click on the column for the link and select "Define link" (or "Edit Links" if some are already defined for the column). The linked view must share a key or field with the linked View. The "Joins" option only shows up when two Views linked to a third View in common.

What tables are you presenting in the View? What fields from each table?

Here is a workspace that might be doing what you'd like.
