Not sure if I am missing something here, bit is it possible to set one user to be a super admin who can edit across all users row in a spreadsheet ? . ---

What is the difference between super admin and normal admin in your case? ---

Anything is possible when you have 1 or more columns to label your users with different permission levels. I use a Boolean admin column and set visibility based on of admin is TRUE. Lesser permissions can be set if a certain column is not empty or contains a certain label. The possibilities are infinite. ---

I use several columns for different types of admins. “IsAdmin” or “IsEditor” for example. Then use a combination of visibility conditions and ORs to allow editing based on multiple types of roles. ---

Thanks for the replies. I think I understand re cols and rows (but maybe not). So I have 40 players all with the status of “player” and 1 admin (me) set as “admin” in my sheet. I then have been setting “email as signed in user” is my admin email. I was then hoping to be able to edit any of the 40 players, however I can only add my own record? There has to be something that I am not getting right here? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/959e7163bcf009afc0d10d4633b0707476762beb.png) ---

Firstly, you don’t need to allow editing when email is signed-in user. If that record you’re viewing belongs to another user then they will be able to edit it as well, which is something I don’t know if you want or not. If you intend to let them edit as well, leave it there. Secondly, make sure your Status is set via the email dropdown using a user profiles setup. Finally, you must have a list of records and enable edit inside the details view of each player. ---

thanks for the quick reply ThinhDinh. Yes do want the players to be able to edit there own records which is set up via a details layout. I think its the user profiles set up that I am not understanding I have the sheet set up as per the image, with records, have I miss understood what user profiles are supposed to be? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/ebc170053dead777462e9ec9321681a80c6ab2d6.jpeg) ---

You set it up the right way, but have you enabled user profiles for the app? [https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/privacy-and-per-user-data/user-profiles](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/privacy-and-per-user-data/user-profiles) ---
