My app is for a small group (50-60) of people. It allows them to track and update miles accumulated for a cause. They’re enrolled externally, not via the app.
Right now, anyone can update anyone’s miles. It’s a pretty trusted group, but the app would be more robust if each person could update only their own miles.
I think I set the app up incorrectly. Can I make my UPDATE button exclusive to the owner or do I need to re-configure?
Thanks.

In addition, I’d add that you can set visibility on the button to only show of the email in the row matches the signed in user. In a small group like yours, that may be the easiest. Row Owners works too, but then nobody will be able to see anybody else’s results.
