Hi Gliders: I was hoping someone would be able to assist me. I ’ve built a custom portal using Glide, connected to Tally Forms, Airtable, and Google Sheets for my Virtual Assistant Staffing Agency. I’ve come a long way and really like what I’ve created, but I’ve hit a few snags and could use a pro to walk me through and finalize the setup.
Here’s what I need help with:
Making sure users only see their own data using Row Owners
Making sure admins (me and my sister) can see everything
Fixing any sync issues between Tally → Airtable → Google Sheets → Glide
Ensuring notifications come through correctly
Help navigating any final settings (visibility, filtering, layout views)
I’m not looking to rebuild from scratch — just need a quick walk through through a live Zoom session** (or screen share) where you can see what I’ve done, help me clean it up, and leave me with confidence that it’s all working as it should. Thank you in advance for your help.
Are you aware that the Free Version of Glide does not support external Data Sources such as Google Sheets? You can import data from a Google Sheet, but that’s just a one time import. You cannot sync between Google and Glide.

My apologies, I’m not on the Free plan, I’m the Explorer Plan.
Same same. Only Maker, Business & Enterprise support external data sources. Before we try and solve your other problems, we should get this clear. Can you show me a screenshot of the list of tables you see in the data editor?

I’m in the data editor..what part of the screenshot will you need?
The left side that lists all is the tables.
Yeah, all of those are either Glide Tables and Glide Big Tables. I don’t see any tables that are connected to Airtable or Google sheets, so none of them are going to sync outside of Glide. Those are Glide data sources.

okay, perfect got it. Thank you! Now, my next question is…If I have someone sign into the CRM through our website, how do I make it to where they only see their information and not others? I did the “make row owner” in the Email column; however now as the Administrator, I can’t see everyone, how do I change that? Also, in Settings - Access - what is the best access?
You need to use Roles.
That’s up to you. If only certain people can sign in, then you want your app to be private and you whitelist those users. If anyone can sign in, the you want you app to be public.
