I believe Glide is blocking editing user’s emails and roles in Users sheets… I have the same problem… what I did is create onChange script that will overwrite the value… so simply, write the value in a regular column, and use the script to copy it and overwrite ---

Any chance that “role” column serves as a “role” in your User Profiles settings? ---

As others have mentioned… ![Screen Shot 2022-11-29 at 9.31.55 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/9/a97e755b3fc7225ba4847db8b0f92ce4f23c9514.png) > **[Glide Docs • Roles](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/security-and-user-data/roles)** > > Define roles for your users and build different expereriences and permissions for those groups. What I normally do to add/edit roles is send a webhook to Make with the RowID and Role name, and then have Make update it - either via the API or by directly setting it in the Google Sheet. ---

Yes exactly what I did as a run around, But I don’t use any Glide logic with roles, so I unassigned it from the user table settings and now it works. I recently changed the privacy setting so I guess that’s what suddenly happened with this action. I wish we could know ahead this these sort of things, cost me some time… ---
