Discover how to use Glide's column visibility settings to tailor user interfaces tailored to roles, boosting the user experience and making data management a breeze.
Glide's column visibility feature lets you decide which columns show up for different users, all based on their roles. This boosts both data security and gives a personal touch to user experience. Using roles you've defined in your app, you can customize what info each user sees. Adding visibility conditions means only the right people get access to sensitive data, while still keeping useful info available for others. This guide will explain the steps to set up column visibility by user roles in your Glide app.
First things first, open up the Glide App Editor. Make sure you're on the main screen of the project where you want to set up column visibility based on user roles.
Next, head over to the "Data" tab on the left side of the screen. This is where you'll see all the data tables used in your Glide app.
Find the table that holds your user data. Check if there's a column for user roles (like "User Role"). If not, go ahead and create one to store user role info.
Enter the different roles for your users (like "Admin", "Editor", "Viewer") in the user role column. Make sure each user has a role assigned.
Now, switch over to the "Layout" tab. This is where you'll adjust how data is displayed based on roles.
Pick the component (like a Text Field, Button, etc.) where you want to set visibility rules. Click on it to open its properties.
In the properties panel, scroll down to find the "Visibility" section. Click on it to expand the settings.
Add a visibility condition by clicking "Add Condition." Choose the column where user roles are defined and set the condition so only specific roles can see the component. For example:
You can add more conditions if multiple roles need access to the component.
Repeat steps 6 to 8 for any other components, setting up visibility rules as needed to control access based on user roles.
After setting up all visibility conditions, test the app using different user accounts with different roles to make sure everything works correctly.
Once all tests pass, publish your app and let your users know. Remember to update the visibility settings if you add new roles or components to the app.
These steps will help you control the visibility of columns and components in a Glide app based on user roles.
