Hi everybody,

I need a clarification about use emails at rowOwner and the related tables.

If my users take fake ou secondary emails and after change emails, will be lost my relations tables?

Many times users take others emails to prevent spams, a.d same problem to pay using payHere. Use secondary emails it is a good workaround?

hey.. the best way to combat users using fake emails or changing them is to ensure all the relations / queries work of the user table’s row ID.

If you’re worried about the row owners.. create a new column.. fill it with a unique identifier.. then ensure you link this new column to the glide role column..

You’ll be good to go
