Hi Guys !  
Can anyone help me, after adding an email to the EMAIL field (with Row Owner), it appears for a few moments and then disappears, the same when editing the profile. What could be the cause and how to fix it ? Thanks in advance

I don’t believe you can change email addresses via the app in the user table if it is tied to your user profile configuration.

Is there an option that the admin, could edit in the future the data of users of this application ? Or is it impossible due to some security standards and data correctness ?

I believe it’s a security protection. Two things that can’t be changed directly from the app is the user’s email or their role. I think the reasoning is because it could open up the possibility for a user to grant themselves access to someone else’s data.

There are a couple of alternatives though. You can change the values via the data editor in the builder, or you can build a process to change the values via the Glide API.
