# 👋 Hey fellow Gliders!

By request, I wanted to take a step back and demonstrate some of the considerations when setting up Users in your app.

Specifically:

1. The User Table
2. User Profile Designation
3. User Privacy and Authentication
4. User Onboarding
5. Tab Visibility based on User Conditions

Cheers Bob, will be a great resource to point to.

@Desley - I’m pretty sure this video was made for you 😉

Thank so very much.  
I was under the impression that the Users table was fixed as the Glide users table.  
I set a Google sheet from an external source as the ‘allow users in this table’ to log in, but when they did, it created a new private user in the Glide default User table. This video has solved an issue I needed a work around for. 👍🎉

Because these users don’t require a roll, I can now create a filtered user ‘whitelist’ table to ensure we don’t exceed the public users limit. Really good but hopefully Team Glide are happy to leave as is 😉

That doesn’t sound right. If you are using a whitelist table to restrict who can sign in to your App, then _all_ signed in users will be counted as Private.

Dang… Yep, you’re right.  
It’s back to the old drawing board.

Still a great video as usual Robert.
