Is it possible to create a publicly accessible Interface whereby access to a given record is based on a unique string that is entered in by the end user?

 
I have records (of students) and want an individual’s information accessible only be entering a unique string. Ideally, I wanted a field where you enter in a string and then gives access to one record along - can this be built out within airtable?
 
Thank you all!

You can't do that based on a string. You can only filter records based on the currently logged-in user's email address (or their Airtable user account). So, if somebody is logged into Airtable, you can make it so that they can only see their own record (based on their email address or Airtable account).

An even easier way of doing this would be to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, which gives you a unique URL for each record in your base. When you give the person their own unique URL, they can click on that link and view/update their own record.

Fillout is 100% free, and it also offers hundreds of other advanced features that you can’t get natively with Airtable’s forms.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
