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.

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:

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.

Airtable needs either finer-grained collaborator permissions, or an option for editable shared views. At the moment, collaborators can either access the entire base or nothing (view-based access is read only and forms for adding records are public/password protected). Ideally, we should be able to add collaborators view-by-view.

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.

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

Issue: The Description app is handy, but it’s too easy to edit and accidentally modify. Example: when you set up a series of links as a resource, users have to click to EDIT the description in order to get a little popup that you can THEN click to open the URL. I would consider this unexpected UX. Expected Behavior: A description should be read-only unless you explicitly want to modify it. This way, clicking on it doesn’t lead to accidental modification, and a link will should just open on the first click. Suggested Fix: Add an Edit button. Adding an extra step is probably worth it in a lot of use cases where you really do just want a Description to be static most of the time. And it would make the Description app more useful as a resource, i.e. a way to share important or helpful links.

Long-time fan…yet… this one thing has always perplexed me… Why can someone that ONLY has ‘view access’ to a base… can then go duplicate that entire base with all the records and then become the owner of it… all while having no audit trail of who did it. I don’t know about you but I put lots of time building my Airtables… building out custom workflows, app dashboards, syncing tables from other bases, in-depth field descriptions, specific views and putting accurate information in there to collaborate, communicate and grow with others. It is IP that an organization builds, putting countless hours into perfecting… yet anyone with ‘view’, ‘commenting’, ‘editing’ or ‘creator’ access can take that IP with no accountability. Basically, I would like to significantly reduce who has access to 'duplicate a base’ Only the 'Owner" access should be able to duplicate the base: not the creator, editor, comment or view access. Additionally add an audit trail to who duplicated the base. Maybe even giving specific users ‘this person can duplicate or not’ but I think the owner simplification would be more than sufficient. Without this option, it is such a security shortcoming that it limits the number of users I have using Airtable. And I want to tell everyone in the world about Airtable… Airtable has given me a way to organize my thoughts / systems that I didn’t know was possible. I love the origin and root behind open source programs but please let me have the option to make it open source or not. That is like someone having access to your CRM and with one button, can duplicate all customer records and how they all interact with each other. User Story As an account admin I would like control of who can duplicate our base and it’s contents. if someone can duplicate, I want a record of who did it and when. Resources I am aware of Duplicating Bases - No mention on how to avoid this Yes I know you can send over ‘views’ to people to mitigate this issue… you can send over forms so they can add records to it… grids / galleries with only the information they need to know. I desperately hope I am wrong and this indeed is actually a possible feature that I have missed. With appreciation and admiration for Airtable & it’s community, Paul

Increased permission levels! Hiding tables from certain users Hiding views from certain users without making them personal views Hiding fields from certain users Editable shared links Allow adding records to synced tables The IOS mobile app also shows ALL views including everyone’s personal views and when a record is opened it shows all fields with only a small indicator saying that field is hidden.

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.
