Probably you are not filtering the tab as email = signed-in user.

Check the “Features” of the tab, filter it as I said and it should work.

In that case @ThinhDinh ‘s suggestion should work for you.

ThinhDinh,  
I have email = signed in user set on My Profile Tab visibility,  
sorry it’s not working I must be missing something  
It is not a visibility issue but one that the wrong record is being updated

Filter that by the “normal” email one, not the user \> email. Please try that and tell me if it works.

On the tab. Go to the “features” part of the tab settings and filter that by what I said.

Are these the choices you have when you click in the “User” dropdown. I mean you don’t have to go into that dropdown, choose the normal email option outside that.

Firstly make sure your tab is pointed to the right “AuthUsers” sheet. I think you have that already right?

Then do as below. Choose the filter using the normal email column.

ThinhDinh  
I have been through this again and the email still has the user icon with it even though there is only one email column  
Could this be related to me deleting the ROWID column ?

Any chance you’re setting a tab visibility instead of going to the layout’s features? If you can shoot a video or provide some more screenshots it would help.
