Trying to make the company database visible only to Admin and Supervisor  
All the company lines are shaded out and not visible on database or screen no mater who’s viewing.

Have you actually configured User Profiles, including setting the Role column?

I suspect not, because you have a Text column for Email in your Users table, which wouldn’t work.

Please refer to the below:

> Define, store, and use data on your app's users.

Once you know the language even the world is a little easier to understand! Your brief instruction gave me the leg up I needed.  
Thank you so much!
