Limit Access for Interfaces

[tomo]

Option to Limit the Access to Interfaces.

I want to build an App for my co-workers that are not that techie. So i want to keep them from seeing the Base and only allow them to see certain areas of an Interface.

Would be helpful for customers too.

Sadly there is no way, as far as i can see

Yes, this functionality is natively built into Airtable, but Airtable doesn't make it very obvious on how to enable it.

There are 3 different share buttons in Airtable:

(1) The workspace share button.
(2) The base share button.
(3) The interface share button.

These all provide different functionality, even though they're all called "Share" and even though they all look identical in Airtable.

You need to first remove your users from (1) base access & (2) workspace access, and then you can just add them as (3) interface access only (using the interface share menu).

Ah check out Airtable's documentation on how to share interfaces, it shows you how to do what you're looking for: https://support.airtable.com/docs/managing-and-sharing-interfaces

What doesn't seem possible is the ability to limit an interface's access to a certain level of user or specific users within a base. Or am I missing something?

Bumping the OP’s last question.

Yes, each interface group is shared with only the users that you specify. 

All interface pages within an interface group get the exact same permissions.

So you can only give different permissions to different users if you create & share a completely different interface group.
