Yes, it’s private to users in the users table!
… but what is the conclusion?
When i update the email from glide app, it reverts back.
but when i update from glide table, it persists.
Anyone know why it happens?
That’s expected behaviour. Glide does not allow you to change the User Profile email address via the UI.

Is this still the same? I’m trying to build my app so it’s possible to run without going into thhe builer but this gets in the way… app needs to be limited to those in table
Yes, it’s still the same and unlikely to change.
However there are ways to handle this, depending on which plan you have.
Which plan do you have?
I’m on business plan. Would love to learn the workaround!
Okay, so probably the easiest way is to use the Make integration. Because it makes the change via the Glide API, the change will not be reversed.
If you prefer to keep it purely in Glide, then there are two further options:
- using the Glide API with a Call API action
- using the new webhook trigger workflow (currently in beta).
Thank you. I’m using glide tables, rather than an external data source (the data synch was too slow with Sheets). Does that rule these options out?
Nope, not at all. None of those options require external data sources.
If you are interested in exploring the Make option, here is a video I made some time ago that demonstrates how it would be done. The video shows how to update a User Role, but it would be exactly the same for a User Email.
The only thing you need to be cautious about is if you are using email as Row Owner in other tables. In this case it gets a bit more tricky - and I’d probably recommend the workflow route, which allows you to iterate through all rows in a table.
OK thank you, I’ll check it out. And no, unique ID for row owners 
had to remake ALL relations across ALL tables as I stumbled into that oversight earlier!
