I have a simple list in my landing page I would like to omit one of the items of this list when the user is logged in. See video below for more details ---

You want to set a Filter on the data. You do not want to set Visibility of the entire Grid. With that said, add a filter like so to determine which items are shown: If Name is not Login OR User Profile → Email is empty ---

Do you have User Profiles configured? > **[User Profiles](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/security-and-user-data/user-profiles)** > > Define, store, and use data on your app's users. Regarding alignment, we may need to figure out something different for the grid collection after you figure out the user profile issue. Maybe something along the lines of your original thought to show separate collections based on user status. You also need to make sure you check the mobile view because things could realign or change based on screen resolution. ---

Yes I have configured the user profiles. Do you know what might be the issue? ---

OK. You’ll probably just need to add a single value or template column to your Steps table that retrieves the signed in user’s email from the user profile. Then use that column in your filter. ---
