This will be the third time I shared this in the past week. Pay attention to the third bullet point in this post. I think for Glide to allow an array to be used for row owners, would require a bit of an overhaul in how glide currently works. Currently it would mean violating data security to allow something meant for data security to work.

You can mix emails and roles in a single column as well as in multiple columns. You can assign multi roles to each user, but this does have to be an array, and the only way to create that array is to sequentially number columns in an external database, such as google sheets. Computed columns, inc…

I also would be surprised if Glide allowed something like this because it would cut into the use of Roles, and thus marking a user as private, unless they allowed it somehow, while still marking the user as private.
