Allow VIEWERS some Update rights

Hello,

there is one table OPTIONS where I would like the users [VIEWERS] to be able to Update the values and they should have only read access to all the other tables.

I expected

to override the default rule but it is not the case. Is there a simple way to to that or do I need to implement access roles for every table?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Laurent

Hi there,

The access level VIEWER can only ever view data, even if you add permissions for this group to update, create or delete. To grant someone access to edit any part of a document, they should at least have EDITOR access. You can grant more specific control than this. This webinar goes through granting access based on Department and if a user is a Manager: https://youtu.be/chDCNUHqi6w?si=bnYOHJGEr9vx_r3V

The example document can be found here: 6 - Project Management (full rules) - Grist

Our help center article also walks through an example setting up access based on Role: Intro to access rules - Grist Help Center

Thanks,
