Airtable team: Please provide an option to DISABLE the public access to the DESCRIPTION of the VIEW for public shared links to views. This is a security issue. I didn’t notice this was publicly exposed. I had confidential notes in the description and didn’t know this was all exposed. At least there should be a way to disable that. There is a small “i” icon that many people who receive the shared view don’t even notice. I didn’t notice that either. While I see the benefit of having it there, we need an option to disable that. Now I have to remove the decription from there and leave it blank but that defeats the purpose because it was description for me. See picture of what I mean: … Here would be a perfect spot for a the switch to disable it if needed:

We’ve got two types of users in our org. Some who are deep into Airtable all the time and some who are mostly just viewing information but who could make small updates to records (e.g. update the status of a task) if they had access to do so. However, given the limited scope of what these users need to do, we can’t justify the cost of moving them from Read-Only to paid user access. Unfortunately, that makes Airtable less useful than it could be if money were no object. I’d be willing to pay a smaller monthly fee per user for these types of users if it were offered. But as it stands today, we’ve had to limit paid licenses to just the handful of team members who need deeper access to the data.

For my admin interfaces, I never need a field in an interface to be _not_ editable. Only a few people use these admin interfaces and everyone needs to access everything (it's a CRM). Having to set every single field on every single table and view and every place you ever see a field value. It's really awful. A preference setting or something that makes the whole interface editable wherever possible would be great.

One potential Airtable product idea could be the addition of a feature that allows for the enabling or disabling of column visibility for individual users or groups of users. This would be especially useful for teams or organizations that work with sensitive or confidential information, as it would give them more control over who can view certain types of data without having to create various views/tables/bases for each user. The same way we can choose who can edit a collumn, we could choose who can see it. Here's how this feature might work: First, the user would need to create a new table or select an existing table within Airtable. Then, they could choose to enable the column visibility feature for that table. Next, they would need to select which columns should be visible by default, and which columns should be hidden by default. Finally, the user would be able to specify which users or groups of users should have access to certain columns. For example, they might choose to hide certain columns from all users except for members of the finance team. This feature would be especially useful for businesses and organizations that need to keep certain types of information private, such as financial data or customer information. By giving users more control over who can see certain columns, Airtable would help ensure that sensitive data is only viewed by authorized personnel.

Airtable is a powerful platform for organizing and managing data, but sometimes it's necessary to restrict editing for certain users or categories of users. The ability to block editing at the record-level or cell-level would greatly enhance the security and integrity of data stored in Airtable. This feature would allow administrators to specify which users or user groups can edit or view a record or specific cells within a record, based on the value of a specified cell. For example, if a record represents an invoice or bill that has been paid, the administrator could prevent any further editing by users who are not authorized to modify paid invoices. This would ensure that the data remains accurate and protected from accidental or intentional changes. Use Case: An organization uses Airtable to manage its financial accounts. Once an invoice is marked as "paid," the administrator wants to prevent anyone other than the accounting department from editing the record. The administrator sets up a rule in Airtable so that when the "Status" cell of an invoice is set to "Paid," only members of the accounting department can edit the record. This protects the integrity of the financial data and ensures that only authorized users can make changes.

What is the proposed idea/solution? SMS 2FA is not secure: https://securityboulevard.com/2021/12/why-using-sms-authentication-for-2fa-is-not-secure/ https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/do-you-use-sms-for-two-factor-authentication-heres-why-you-shouldnt/ https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/is-it-ok-to-use-text-messages-for-2-factor-authentication-ask-zdnet/ https://www.issms2fasecure.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_o1C-uvge8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWnadwlI5xA https://cybernews.com/security/why-you-should-stop-using-sms-for-two-factor-authentication/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/10/11/apple-iphone-imessage-and-android-messages-sms-passcode-security-update/?sh=762dfb812ede How does is solve the user problems? Makes them more secure. I assume AirTable doesn't want to be the next company that got hacked or that allowed its users to be hacked easily? How was this validated? This should be your number one priority. Who is the target audience? All existing and future AirTable users. Thank you!

We are trying to use Airtable to depict information with restriction on copying data and it doesn’t make sense for us to have the print view option. How do I disable it?

Is it possible to restrict sharing, exporting, etc of a base for collaborators? This would be similar to the google docs functionality that restricts sharing/exports/printing of certain documents. If not to restrict, could it be possible for admins to receive an alert when link sharing is enabled or when a base is downloaded?

We have many users to use one common table. So, if Airtable launches a new feature about permission on each view, please launch it for us. I think it’s very useful.
Thank you

As the base collaborator, (sole owner, responsible party, department head, etc.) it would be helpful to make changes to the locked view. Yes, it’s quick to switch the view over, but it’s annoying to do this every single time, even when minor changes are needed. For instance, changing the size of a table. To attempt the change, then realize it’s locked, then We have asked no personal views are made on a specific table due to the fields not relevant to their role in the company. If I have to change the locked view to personal or collaborator every time even a minor change is needed this opens the risk of others following suit and making changes on the whim. I also would love to prevent users from creating a personal view. One of my team members assumes the “lock” means the page is locked (yes, I’ve told him a million times but well…I’ll let your imagination run with that one) so he creates a personal view unlocks hidden fields and fills in the info necessary. problem is - he skips multiple steps and upload in the wrong area because he is using a personal view. Not to mention the ability to unhide information that was hidden and on a locked human resources table.
