Manage permissions via API?


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

We would like to keep the permissions of two bases (one a clone of the other) in sync.

In order to do this, is it possible to manage permissions via the Airtable API?

Specifically: field-level, table-level, and base-level permissions.

Thank you

No, that is not possible.

But why do you have 2 bases that are identical?

Thanks for your reply. We use the clone in our sandbox environment.

If you upgrade to Airtable’s Business Plan, you can use Airtable’s built-in sandbox feature, which could save you a lot of time & energy.

That’s really interesting. We weren’t aware of this feature. It may be exactly what we need. Thank you!
