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? Make workspace / base owner able to delete comments on records made by other users. How does is solve the user problems? As base manager (owner), I would appreciate the possibility to remove comments made by others on records without asking each person to delete their own comments. Some of them, furthermore, are not on the team anymore (no more access to base). How was this validated? It wasn't, was it? https://community.airtable.com/t5/other-questions/delete-comments-made-by-other-users/td-p/143650 Who is the target audience? Workspace / base owners.

I would like to have the ability to make certain tables non-readable to certain users. While it is possible to make tables read-only, in order to give someone access to one part of my base, and more specifically in my extensions, I have to give them read-only for all tables, at a minimum. There are times that I do not want specific users to be able to see sensitive financial information on one table, but they might need access to what's in an interface, or on a different table. I realize the permissions within Interfaces helps with this, but it doesn't help with Extensions.

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!

Just to ensure I'm using the jargon correctly, I believe an 'Interface' is a groups of 'Pages' -- with that out of the way, I wonder if it would be relatively 'low hanging fruit' to offer the ability to move a Page to another Interface within the same Base? Why would you want to do this? The Enterprise plan has granular permissions that control which Interfaces can be accessed by which users/groups. A Page in an interface might be useful to multiple groups, but that doesn't mean I want multiple groups to have access to the entire Interface. This results in having to re-create Pages in different Interfaces that have the appropriate permission settings. A function to move a Page to a different Interface (within the same Base of course) would be a significant 'quality of life' improvement and time-saver in this situation. It could live in the page's '...' menu (see screenshot)

What is the proposed idea/solution? As it's possible to pre-fill a View Form field - it would be useful if field permissions could be set to prevent the user from editing specified (pre-filled) fields - the idea being that the field is read-only and is simply relaying information to the user who's filling out the form. Currently, if the field permissions within the table are set to "Nobody" can edit - a user viewing and filling out a form can still edit that field. How does this solve the user problems? It allows pre-filled forms to be sent and filled out by users, but only desirable fields are editable, whilst others fields are restricted from editing and will display pre-filled data that can't be edited - but can be viewed during the form process. Who is the target audience? Anyone who is using an Airtable automation to send a Form Link, with pre-filled URL switches, where some fields should really be non-editable and view only.

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.

It would great if there was an option to lock either Collaborative or Personal Views. Right now the “Locked view” really only applies to collaboratives views. I have several views in my bases that I want to keep as Personal views but want to avoid accidently making changes, hence the need for a Locked option. Perhaps the choices could be Collaborative or Personal, with the option to toggle Locked on/off. It could look something like this:

Dear Airtable team. Really simple question. Why you don’t have a function that can share view with editing function. Everyone can see and edit everything in a base if have an access (( Even Stackby have sharing view edit possibility, but you don’t. Its very big problem to use another service to do simple function. Please do it! In Reddit post What you want in 2022 in Airtable it’s mostly liked wish.
