I have an app in glide that everyone can use and see but some users want them to have specific roles to modify data. I’m a bit confused with which type of plan to use the pro or the private pro. it is possible to use the PRO plan and have roles. how can I do? ---

Glide have a user specific columns and filters, and visibility filters… don’t you wanna use them? i.m 100% sure you will love Glide even more! ---

If you only need roles to modify data, just use a normal “role” column and configure visibility accordingly like Uzo said. Roles in Private Pro is for allowing roles to download and see only the data they’re allowed to. ---

Roles and Row owners are for privacy and security ---

Hi @Luis_Siles 👋 The way I see it: - Private Pro app: app access limited to a finite, somewhat limited number of users. For instance: employees, existing customers, partners, etc. Imagine a _client portal_ or _employee intranet_, but in PWA app format. Specificity: extra security and privacy. - (Public) Pro app: app access not limited to a finite number of people. Imagine a website or SaaS where anyone can sign up (_Public with email_) , or there might not even be any sign-in required (_Public_). With a Pro app, we as Glide developers can use all the bells and whistles offered by Glide: scaling thresholds/limits, extra configuration options, etc. As @Uzo and @ThinhDinh suggested, in your case you probably want to keep your _Pro app_ and use _visibility_. The _visibility_ feature is not a security feature since all the data in your app will be downloaded to every user’s device and filtered on the device for visibility. ---
