Hello community.  
I am working on a diary app which allow user to record their daily life individually.  
During testing, I found that users are sharing one database so their diaries are shared as well. Users can read others diaries.  
What can I do to allow user to write and view their own content individually?

I would apply row owners to an email column in the data. That way each user will only have access to their own data.

You can read more about row owners here.

Also, if in any cases you’re letting users write on the same row of data, consider using user-specific columns, but I suspect that might not be the case here.
