I am using employee directory template. I am wondering if there is a way an employee can update their address just like they can edit their phone number. I know an admin can change if an employee change their address. but i feel like it would be less work for an admin if an employee itself can update their address. let me know if i can do that using Glide.

BTW I am loving this app been. using for 2 months now.

If the Address is linked to the Office location, then it makes sense only for the Admin to change it.  
If you’re adding separate address fields for Employees to indicate a different address per employee (their home/mailing address) you can do so by adding a new field under the Employee tab.
