I’m using make row owners for user email in user table, I also would like my admins to have access to all rows in this table. I can create a new row owner table for a single admin email.

Question is, If i have multiple admins, how do I go about this? since I can only put one email in row owner column

Use Roles.

- Set the Role column in your User Profiles configuration
- Assign your Admin users a common role value
- In your secondary Row Owner column, instead of adding email addresses, add the Admin Role value.

See below for a deeper explanation:

> No, the users being managed wouldn’t have any role at all. They would just have their own email address as an owner row, which means they would only see their own data. Only the Managers would be given the Manager role, and as a Manager would be set as a Row Owner for every user, they would have access to all data. This might be easier to explain with a picture. Consider the following example: In the example above, the first 3 users are Managers. Each…

Still not working for me, can you help check below?

- by user profile config you mean this?

- in users table, i made email and role as the row owner  

- As a user “Person 1” with role admin, i can view all rows, but I’ve also set Person 3 as Admin, but have no access to all rows (the rest are greyed out). see below  

also I want to have another table with role as the row owner

- tested in a new table, even with admin role, does not have access to the row

Check for any additional spaces in the Role. Also, I don’t recommend using the same column for the Role in the user profile configuration and the row owner in the user table. If it was working, a user with an Admin role would only have access to person 1 and person 3. Not 2 or 4. What you should be doing is assigning the admin role to only the admins, and then have a separate column set as a row owner column with the word Admin in every user row. That tells glide that only users with a role of admin will be able to see all rows that have a row owner of Admin.

thanks. I’m able to make it work by not making the role as row owner. instead, i created a new column called “owner”. in this new column, I put a role name whom i want to be able to have access to the rows
