Who can open the database

Editors can create, edit, and view the workspace database and every app in the workspace. Internal app members and external users can work with data through the apps they use, but they cannot open or edit the database itself.

Add a database editor

1

Open Users

From the workspace, click the Users button to the left of the workspace selector.
2

Select Editors

Under Workspace, select Editors.
3

Invite the editor

Click Invite and add the person who needs to work with the database.
Editor access applies across the workspace. The person can work with the database and every app, rather than only one app.

Control access to database records

Workspace roles control which tables and actions people can access through your apps. A role can allow or deny viewing, creating, editing, and deleting records. Open Users, then select Roles under Workspace. See Configure roles for the full setup.
Editor access and database roles solve different problems. Editors can open and edit the database itself. Roles control how people can work with its data through apps.
