Allow permissioning per Base within a workspace. Right now I’d have to create a separate work space to allow my users to be editors in one base but a creator in another, which creates billing problems and duplicate charges.

With a large base it is very difficult to keep track of field permissions. Desperately need a way of seeing all. An app would be welcome

When sharing the front-end of your base via link, you get to this menu: Originally, it says “Enable Shared Base Link” and there is that off/on slider. When you set it to on, it changes to “Disable shared base link”, which doesn’t make sense for a slider - the slider is indicative of “Enable Shared Base Link” being true or false. What the above picture looks like is that I’ve Disabled share base link, since that is the function and it is set to true via the slider. This is not true, as when the slider is on, my Base link is functional. If you wanted to keep the current format, you would want to change it to a button, not an on/off interface.

I need to make my data available to the public, where they can sort, filter, and group the tables to their heart’s content, to analyze the data for their own purposes. But NOT to have permission to edit, delete, or add to the data. Please, please do this! I need it badly.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add more options to the Fixed Web Session Length settings to provide lengths between 4 and 8 hours. Alternatively, allow custom web session lengths for individual users. How does it solve the user problems? On the Enterprise plan, users are subject to session lengths determined by Information Security policies. By not having an option between 4 and 12 hours, more users will be defaulted to 4 causing them to be logged out in the middle of the day. Allowing individual users to have custom web session lengths would permit Enterprise plan users to set longer windows for the subset of employees who are Airtable developers and spend most of the day using it while maintaining smaller windows for the majority of employees who only occasionally need to view data in Airtable. How was this validated? Confirmed possible acceptable solutions with Information Security professionals Who is the target audience? ...

In the options for different interface types, the only way to get a table is through starting with a blank interface and adding a table element in. This often causes scrolling issues between the whole page and within the table, and overall is is a very clunky way to get a table interface. Can a new interface be made that is just a table, similar to the list interface, but with the functionality of a table. It would be the same as the table view under the data tab, but having it as an interface gives a lot more control over access to it and sharing between other people. If this could be added it would also solve Allow what users can see/access individual Views in the same table as @TheTimeSavingCo commented on this.

Allow the Admin account to share specific views to users, and revoke access to others. This would be a page where I can add or remove users access to the specific view. This should also be similar in the Permissions options, where users can be an editor, viewer, commenter, but have it so they can have different permissions in different views. This means that a user may have access to 'View 1' and 'View 2', but not 'View 3', and this user is able to edit in 'View 1' but not in 'View 2' and cannot see or edit in 'View 3'

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Allow a base to be created and made private on a shared workspace. How does is solve the user problems? ...Users should be able to be a part of workspace, but create a private base to get access to features of the workspace that are not available in the free workspace. Currently the workaround is to only share specific bases with other users in the company, and this is a pain due to multiple people being collaborators so we have multiple owners of the system, instead of just one person. Who is the target audience? ...All users

What is the proposed idea/solution? The idea is to have a table within the database that stores information about the base's users and is accessible to use for filters in interfaces without having to have copious numbers of linked records across the base. For example, the table outlines the user, their manager, team, etc... then, in the interface, I can filter to check if the current user is in a certain team and show them records if they are. ... How does it solve the user problems? It removes the need to create a multitude of references across the base. I currently, for example, have a user and a team table, and each has multiple reference fields to outline how they relate to others, like their managers, their manager's managers, anyone who should have visibility over this person's records, etc... This would allow me to instead have the following filters: - if record owner is current user (currently possible) - if current user is in X team - if current user is in leadership team These wouldn't be possible without linking the X and/or leadership team to each record in the table, which isn't very efficient to do, particularly if you have thousands of records. ... How was this validated? Doing a lot of work around the visibility of records within Airtable interfaces based on values in the table. ... Who is the target audience? Bases that have multiple people working in them. ...

In my experience, tags are things that are added by the user, not by the admin. While tagging photos for example, it's almost impossible to predict what tags will be used. Make it so that I can add items in the multiselect interface. This could be an option in the field definition "Allow users to add options". This would work well with the other feature request I saw on here about showing how many of the other tags there are.
