## Case

I have a number of company internal images that I only want to share with people of the organisation.  
The people could have an email address like: [me@xyz.com](mailto:me@xyz.com) or [you@xyz.com](mailto:you@xyz.com)

The organisation could have 1000 employees

Any ideas to achieve this by use of public users - if at all possible?

## Details

**Table with private image**

| private image | row owner |
| --- | --- |
| Image1 | employee |
| Image2 | employee |

**User profiles table**

| Email | role |
| --- | --- |
| [me@xyz.com](mailto:me@xyz.com) | employee |
| [you@xyz.com](mailto:you@xyz.com) | employee |

If possible, the role should be set to employee when the domain is [xyz.com](http://xyz.com)

When I read about the roles in the documentation it refers to the old pricing concept I believe

_If your app is on a Private Plan, you can assign roles to the users in your [User Profiles] table._

I wonder how this works with the new pricing concept?

It could be great if logic applied on user profiles table could open up for rows owned by a certain role - in the example above if you have the [xyz.com](http://xyz.com) domain then you get the role employee and then the rows in the table with private images are made available to use.

Ok - as I understand it now:

If you use **Role** in an app then your signing-in user becomes a private user.

I my example all signed-in users would therefor be private - so it seems as an app with just public users isn’t possible - and therefore the price would be way higher than a pro-app.

It is though still unclear to me whether it is possible to specify a domain as whitelisted users

It is also unclear to me if you can use roles together with public signing-in - seems to be that this is not possible.

I’m not sure it still works with the new plan, but this is the way to whitelist a domain in the old pricing scheme.

For your case though, would it be possible to set a role as the domain (using some backend manipulation to have the domain as a basic column) in both the users sheet and the images sheet? I would assume that would do the trick.
