### Issue

I am confused on user profiles and enabling different user views while editing. My User Profile tab in the app editor is linked to a Users tab Glide table in the data editor. Sometimes the emails are visible (usually just one at a time). Sometimes the usernames are available (User 1, User 2, etc.).

### Question

How do I make it possible to always enable different user views?

Cheers

If the username is empty, then you’ll see the email address in the “preview as” list.

You shouldn’t need to do anything - that should always be available via the builder. Are you saying that it isn’t?

Hey Darren,

Thanks for the response. Here are a few photos that might show what’s happening.

Cheers

Your first screen shot suggests to me that you don’t have [User Profiles](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/security-and-per-user-data/user-profiles) setup properly.

Users would be the correct sheet.

Do you have columns mapped for Name, Email and Image? (I can’t tell from your screen shot)
