About the issue of allowing edits only when conditions are met…”

edits.ninox

I have created two tables for employees’ orders. I want to allow modifications to Customers.text only when Orders.Salesman is the same as Customers.Creator. How can I implement this? Thank you for your response.

    If you have a professional subscription a whole lot of power comes with the upgrade. The Readable if... and Writeable if... sections are available at a table and a field level.

    Regards John

      Hello friend, I am a subscriber, but I would like to know how to write this code.

    FYI, when you want to do a report on all orders your current setup will make it difficult to script as you have to get data from different tables. What happens when you add a new sales person? Are you expecting to create a new table?

    Try to keep similar data in one table. What differentiates the two Orders tables, besides the sales person?

       Sorry, I didn't express some necessary information clearly.

      If the sales form belongs to Emma, then the salesperson will only be Emma and will not be changed to anyone else (I forgot to mention this). Because I only have two subscription accounts, I designed two salespeople's forms accordingly, so they will only see their own orders. (Or is there a better way to achieve this effect?)

      I have streamlined the elements of the order form with the main purpose of ensuring that only the creator of a customer can modify the customer's information. There will be other elements, but overall, there won't be too much difference.

    Yes there is. Try not to mix security/permission with DB structure design.

    You can view this video

    to give you the basics on role based security.

    Nioxus also have training videos around security and permission. You may want to subscribe and watch them.

      I watched the video in detail, and it describes how to use accounts to differentiate viewing permissions and editing rights. However, my situation is a bit different.

      If I want to restrict each person to only view the information they edited in the table, the only solution I can think of so far is to create two identical tables. I haven't found a way to achieve this within a single table.

     Hi, as  suggested and  mentioned, there is a simpler way.

    Open the Gear icon of the 'Customers' table then click on 'Edit fields...' and inside the 'Readable if' function put the following code:

    userName() = text('Created by')

    Could you try this and let us know if it works?

        once you get one user worker working, you may want to think about creating groups and using groups in your permissions. That way when your business grows you don't have to keep modifying the permission each time a user is added. Just add the user to the group and you everything else falls into place.

       I was overcomplicating the issue. Thank you for your help.
