Hi everyone, I’m new to Glide and I’m having trouble with the sign-in feature. I created a table for user profiles with columns like Name, Email, Row ID, and Login Status. I also connected it to the user profile screen in the side menu. But when I try to sign in with an email, I keep getting this message: **“The email address doesn’t have access to this app. Please try another.”** I would really appreciate it if someone could explain the correct steps to: 1. Add a user to my app manually (so they can log in). 2. Set up the sign-in screen properly. 3. Make sure the app recognizes the email and logs the user in correctly. Since I’m still learning, please explain in simple steps if possible 😊 Thanks so much for your help! Best regards, ---

Can you show us your Privacy settings for the app, and what plan are you on? ---

Go to Settings \> Access and play around with them. By default it’s set to Private \> Users table so only people in your Users table can sign in or access the app. Setting it to Public will allow anyone to sign in to the app (or create an account if they don’t have one), and you can choose if you want sign-in to be required or optional. If you want to keep it as Private, to add users, simply just add a row to the Users table in the Data editor, and fill out the name, email and other details, and they will be able to sign in with that email 😊 ![Screenshot 2025-05-03 at 11.22.15 am](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/c/ace0a270499a555dac4ce91a7b99280f22fae205.png) ---

Do you have user profiles configured correctly? > **[User Profiles | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/security-and-user-data/user-profiles#setting-the-user-profiles-table)** > > Define, store, and use data on your app's users. ---

I would reconfigure your user profile to use one of your existing tables. Then set that table as the user table in your privacy settings. Then your login should work for the users in that table. ---
