Editing or Not editing data permisssions..is not clear to me

[jesmarben]

hi, i am not an experienced users and absolutely new to GLIDE, but i found similar issues at other no-code platforms…there are some key issues quite unclear to me.

In my case: i set up a “Collection” component at my app, proceed to uncheck the Action “allow users to edit items”(as i do not want other users editing but owner user)…but it is not working, any not logged-in or logged in user can edit data created by other users…how do i solve this? i spent quite some time up and down but not find a solution…the major issue is: as a GLIDE potential customer i feel that there are issues not solved at the moment, so it does not give me confidence to use it…of course another option would be i´m not skilled enough to find the solution, but then…is it NO-CODE really that easy and avaiable to anyone??? honestly i think that despite support docs are stunning, there are still some work to be done…thanks

If you enable advanced actions, you should be able to set up visibility conditions.

Just make sure you understand the security side of the visibility conditions:

Security tip: Managing role-based permissions in Glide apps

If you’re using Glide apps and need secure control over user permissions, be aware that Glide’s visibility conditions (like showing or hiding buttons for certain roles) are not a security feature. While these conditions are helpful for managing the app’s appearance, they do not protect actions at the backend level.

The “default” section also allows you to add conditions.

Miss that one. Thanks for reminding me @ThinhDinh. I just automatically select advanced everytime

[ThinhDinh]

I do that every time as well, it just feel more convenient to set it up that way, but yeah, he can use those conditions.

I also had issues with standard actions in the past so I just always use advanced to prevent issues.

You turned off the ability to edit items from the collection, but you have not changed the edit action on the title component on the detail screen for those items. Changing it on the collection only removes the edit button from the collection rows. It does not globally turn off editing if you still have it enabled elsewhere. Change the action on the title component.

@jesmarben this is your solution
