Do field permissions on the data layer hold true for interface pages?

Yes, the field permissions on the data layer carry over to the interface pages, so you’re good to go! :)

Thank you ​@ScottWorld !

So, to set up the scenario I laid out above, I need to give “editor” access to everyone for the interface? And make all of the interface fields “editable?” And then go into the data layer to restrict who can edit what field?

Do I have that right?

Yes, that should do the trick! :) Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Hey ​@ScottPhillips,

You can either go that route (will work). Or have a duplicate version of the interface, one for each “Group” of users!

The nice thing with Airtable is that you can customize permissions all the way down the field level. That does get challenging to manage, though, so if you can do your permissions at an interface level and provide edit access to those who need it and read / comment access to those who don’t, that will be much easier to manage.

Thanks all! I did what ​@ScottWorld suggested and that seems to be working like I need it.

I have restricted everything on the base later to just our small team that relies on this base/interface for production. And then at in the interface itself, I’ve invited all of our other colleagues to have editor permissions so that they can have editing capabilities to the 3 fields that I want to “open up” to them.

Thanks for keeping us posted ​@ScottPhillips, and do let us know if you face any other challenge!

You can grab a slot as needed, happy to help overa a quick call :D
