I have set up a checklist, but I want to be the only one who places checks. At the moment, anyone can place checks. Thanks ---

I don’t think there’s a way in the native Checklist component. You’ll have to make your own by hand. ---

You could use `visibility conditions` here. Set up a component or action that will allow you to check and uncheck the checkbox, and set a visibility condition in the options tab either on the email or role column. > **[Visibility Conditions | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/user-experience/visibility-conditions)** > > Control who can view different elements of your app. ---

Thank you for your response. I’ve tried visibility but when I do it hides everything. I want users to be able to see the check just not create it. For context, I want people to see where we are up to in a competition, I check the box when a performance is completed. I obviously don’t want people to check boxes. I’m just really struggling with the visibility options. I did create another column to hold the true or false info. Jeanette ---

You could set conditions at the action levels. Either in the layout editor directly if that is how you are setting actions (see screenshot below) or in the workflow editor by creating conditional branches in the workflow. This is how you would allow some users to perform an action but not other. The condition would point to a column in the Users table, such as the email or role column. ![Screenshot 2025-04-15 at 10.23.19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/9/2991a4cc0f00dc393fa668f84d116e8472fb82dc.png) ---

My suggestion would be to use two separate collections. - A checklist collection that is only visible to you - A list collection that is visible to everyone else, and is not clickable. You can use the image part of the list collection to indicate the status of each item.
