Hi new here so hoping you guys wont roast me for this question. Looking for clarity on what a private user actually is please. Is is an app consumer or an admin user?

Glide Privacy Flowchart

Configuring the Privacy Settings for your Glide App can sometimes be a little confusing, especially when it comes to understanding how each of the settings affect whether your Signed In Users are considered Public or Private. The below flow chart aims to demystify that somewhat. A couple of key points to understand and be aware of: If you choose Private Access, then all users will be Private. If you choose Public Access, then that doesn’t necessarily mean that all your Users will be Public. …

An interpretation of Darren’s privacy flowchart:

• Private access counts all users as private.
• Public access categorizes users as visitors, public, or private, depending on sign-in:
  • Unsigned-in users are visitors.
  • No sign-in restriction on a signed-in user results in public user count.
  • Restricted sign-in (on role, domain, or email in a table) on a signed-in user leads to private user count.

So based on the above, if I need to control access or allow access to an approved set of people to consume the app they would be considered Private Users?

Yes.
