Folks

I have created a database with several peoples details. On it, I have also created a view which will take a filter text like this:

https://airtable.com/VIEWLINK?filter_FIELD=FIRSTNAME%20LASTNAME

and then send it to the specific FIRSTNAME/LASTNAME person, who does not have any airtable account as a normal shareable link, so they can access their data.

The problem I am facing with is that as the controls of the view are available, the view can be filtered with different values and people can see each others details.

I see that on the EMBED version of the view, I have the option "viewControls", but it does not work if I use it on a normal share view.

Is there a way to prevent a view to be re-filtered? Or to prevent the controls to be available?

Thanks in advance

Hey Alfredo, you might be able to achieve this by using an interface that filters the records to "Current User."
