I’m not sure what your intention is by setting those two columns as row owner columns. RowID’s can’t be used as row owners unless you have modified your user profile configuration to use Roles, and that Role setting is pointing to a column that contains a RowID in the user table. Row Owner columns can only contain Emails and/or Roles. Based on what I’m seeing, it doesn’t seem like you are assigning either to those two row owner columns, so essentially you are declining access to those rows for everyone. That alone is probably the source of a lot of your issues. I would start by getting familiar with how row owners work. > **[Row Owners | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/security-and-user-data/row-owners)** > > A secure way to restrict access to certain rows. > [@🛡️Roles and Row Owners DEMYSTIFIED](https://community.glideapps.com/t/roles-and-row-owners-demystified/22956): > > wave Hey all, I meant to share this earlier today—I spent some time last night playing around with Row Owners and Roles (two Glide features I don’t often get the chance to use) and ended up learning quite a bit.

Are you using Row Owners and Public Profiles to secure your user data? If not, you might accidentally expose private info. Let’s fix that. In this important tutorial, I demonstrate how and why to enable Row Owners, create a Public Profiles table, and onboard new users in order to safely create a community app that doesn’t reference the User Profile table.
