I know that Airtable is designed to be like the friendly and convenient corner store, not like an Amazon distribution center that uses metal detectors and employs armed security guards. I love that about Airtable.
But the inability to shut the doors to this convenience store is, for me and my clients, a deal-breaking problem. I wish that any (or all) of the following were possible:
- Creator should have option to hide the share button for all non-creator users.
- If creators arenโt given ability to decide who can share/not share the base, then at least read-only users should NOT have the ability to share. When I think โread onlyโ, I donโt think โread and make a copy for all your friends and let them make copies for all their friendsโฆโ.
- Finally, it needs to be possible to restrict users to using what theyโve been given. To this end, should be a privileges level just below Editors called perhaps โEnd Usersโ. End Users should be allowed to edit data in records but NOT edit locked views. That is, for End Users, the โcreate private viewโ button would disappear.
