That’s kind of the point of the app…to see data from the sheet it’s linked to. You granted access to allow the Glide app to access the sheet. If you want to restrict access to the app, then I would suggest using the whitelist privacy option, or structure the app in a way that uses per user data filtering to only show data to those who have the privilege to view the data. There’s a lot of that outlined here.

> Although Glide doesn’t yet have true user profiles or levels of access - there are many different ways to create administrators and users in your apps. This video goes over the four most straightforward examples, but there are many more. I would love people to comment on this thread and explain any distinctions/other ways. @Jeff_Hager in particular! Thanks @Jeff_Hager & @George_B for your advice on this one.
