I did send the link to one person yesterday. They did not create a profile page but was able to access through the link and give me feedback. Could this be the user if they did not create a profile or any of the user data? [Anoynmous App user]

By default now, your app will collect anonymous emails unless you turn that option off in your Settings. Can’t know if that’s the exact user you allowed access but if it’s only one then it must be him/her.

@Paige_L_Martin here is the discussion [image] warning Important Change: Hide User Emails is now default Email Anonymization / Hide User Emails is now on by default for new apps, and you must choose to collect real user emails if you want them. There’s a bug where this setting may change if you open an existing app in the editor and you have never set the setting before. We are rolling out a fix to prevent this setting from changing when editing existing apps.

Your welcome @Paige_L_Martin hope that addresses the concern you had.

Hi so to disable anonymous emails, I now need to upgrade - is that correct? Thanks

Is that correct, in the free plan you can only have them hidden.

I have really been caught out by this. My app is only available to a closed group of some 225 agents and I was expecting to see who had accessed and are using the app. When I checked, a few hours after publishing about 30 had signed in but I was horrified that they were all anonymous. My initial reaction was that Glide was somehow testing, then I found this thread and although it mentioned just switching off this “feature” obviously it has become apparent that you can only switch it off on the paid version. I fully appreciate that I have been using Glide for free and believe me I love it, but to find this change by accident has caused me quite major problems. I need to report to my coworkers who is and who is not using this new version of the app and I can’t. If I were to upgrade, would the user email addresses become visible ? I thank all of you at Glide for a brilliant system and if I have to now pay to get this feature then so be it. M

Under the hood, Glide will still be associating the real email addresses with the anonymous ones. So what you could do is add an email entry component and ask your users to enter their email address again after they have signed in, then store this in another column in your user profiles sheet. This would allow you to match your existing users up. But ultimately yes, if you want to collect real email addresses at the sign in point, then you need to upgrade.

Many thanks. So if I turned this app into a paid version, would those addresses be made available?
