Applying "Row Owner" to Array columns in Glide Pages?

The short answer is no you can’t. For it to work with glide tables, all data would have to be downloaded to a user’s device before the array can be computed. At that point you have already circumvented the whole point of row owners, which is to prevent unowned data from being downloaded to a user’s device in the first place. Building an array in Google sheet is different because that is built directly in the data as opposed to being built by a computed glide column. All non-basic computed columns are calculated on a user’s device after the data has been downloaded. Those computations do not happen on the glide server, so you can’t use a computed array column for row owners because it would not be known which user owns which rows until all data is already sent to the user.
