Is it possible to limit the visibility to a certain column for a row owner?

How do you expect this to work? I assume you want only that column’s data to be downloaded to the user’s device?
Can we know more about the use case?

I have an approved list of users through row owners who can view all information. Within in this list of approved users, I want to limit the visibility of some row owners to only a set of information. Sort of creating levels of access to information.

> If your app is on a Private Plan, you can assign roles to the users in your User Profiles table. You can then use these roles with Row Owner columns to make certain records only accessible to certain users. This allows you to, for example, give many people the role of ‘Admin’ and then make ‘Admin’ a Row Owner for certain rows. Now, only people with the role of Admin will be able to access those rows.
