Adding new users to the user table - using 2 different apps

Ask for Help
1

So a user on the app can only add a new user if they assign them to their same role.

Users with other roles can be added via the data editor or via Call API etc…

However if I create another app that accesses the same Users Glide Table. Then a user can add users with any roles through the other app ?

Is there anything wrong with doing that?
My project has 2 apps, one for admins/managers & one for employees.
Adding users to the employee app from the admins can be done straightforward through a form… this app will not recognize the role column of the other app and will treat it as a normal column, yes?

I haven’t tried that, but I suspect it would work. As long as the column isn’t configured as a Role in the second App. Should be easy enough to test.

Yes i tried it and it worked. Was just wondering if there was anything I missed or any security issue with following this procedure.
Surprised, I haven’t come across any suggestion to do this before for adding users.

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been suggested either, but it’s usually the context of the question. In most cases whenever anyone has ran into this issue, they are trying to do it in the same app that has Roles enabled. I honestly think you would be fine using a separate app to administer and add users.
