I have a table with an email column set as the row owner. I want the user to be able to add a guest to a second column that is also set as the row owner. Will that work? Or can this only be configured via the **data editor**? ### Example Customers table has a customer email and guest email fields. However, in the cars table there is a relation to the customers table based on the customer email (Christina in my screenshot). Then I use a lookup to get the guest email (bobby in my screenshot). However, I cannot set that column as a row owner. ![Screenshot 2024-04-12 at 21.00.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/b/6b10c5dc2c6cc8cd7e34ddabdf3394ab4a4973de.png) ---

[This post](https://community.glideapps.com/t/row-owners-array-help/63970/11) might have part of the answer but not 100% sure how to apply it. Data structure is: Users \> Cars I want to add a guest (another user) who has access to the same cars as User. ---

It will work, but you can’t use a computed column as a row owner. So the guest email will need to be written to a non-computed column, and that column can be a row owner. ---

What if I want to add the row owner to multiple tables? Conceptually I want a user to add a guest to their account (by updating a row owner column in the users table) and then that guest to access everything the user can access. I thought of having a second role called “guest-[rowid of user]”/ not sure if that will work. ---

You can pretty much do whatever you want with Row Owners when adding rows, but users cannot add or modify the _roles_ of other users. The only way you could get that to work would be using the Glide API.
