Hey Glide builders! A lot of you have been asking me how to securely share private rows between users, beyond just UI filters. I finally put together a full video showing how to create, share, and revoke access to rows in a way that truly protects your apps. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/c/1c9a0a0f058c5cc95a97c1b19e98e819326b993d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/8/78f401ce050ecc90ad4ae1865c724811a969ac64.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/e/ee39b803b8bcc18fb9c4bb384294859a6837a8ed.png) In this video, you will learn: - How to implement a row-level ownership system in Glide. - Ways to securely share specific data with users. - How to revoke access when needed, all while keeping your data safe. - Tips for building a system that scales as your app grows. This is ideal for anyone building apps with sensitive or private data and wanting real control over who can see what. **📺 Watch it here:** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/5/3562f0c7365d415889f2d94b0f81a32b91c107b6.jpeg "Glide Secure Sharing System (Real Backend Protection): Share Private Data With Row Owners") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8EG_cMv0Bg) _The Glide App template is in the video description._ I would love to hear your thoughts and questions after watching. – Because you asked me: @Robert_Petitto @nathanaelb ---

Bookmarked. Will watch your video in the next few days, really looking forward to it. I’m asking questions before having watched your video: Have you used this in production? Is it “easy” enough to set up? ---

Yes, I used it in production for 2 apps right now! And also yes. Just do step by step! ---

@ThinhDinh curious (hope you don’t mind me asking): do you extract the transcript and throw it into AI then into whimsical or what is your workflow to create these diagrams? Or is it just old-fashioned skilled manual work? ---

Extracting the transcript and throw it into Gemini. I have a custom prompt there to tell it to generate a Mermaid diagram. It then decides what to do. I process stuff this way nowadays 😅 ---

YouTube can be pasted there as a link, and it has context on what’s on the screen, not just the script, so it helps a lot. I use it at work as well.
