SelectedRow, User Role

[Jake_Nguyen1]

Using tools like superblocks, retool, I noticed that they have some very handy features like “SelectedRow” and also a global customizeable Roles system (for example, I make up Role A and Role B and can assign access at the doc, page, or widget level… and i can then assign people to these roles at a global level)

Very handy features ^^, I was wondering if these are on your roadmap!

I have no idea what you mean by “SelectedRow” … But for the User’s Role system, it can be put in place though (while, I agree, it can be a bit cumbersome to set up )

[Video] User-specific filters (each person tweaks controls independently)

Yet another question that has been asked and answered so many times: How do I let multiple people use the doc at the same time and change filters just for themselves? Time to have the ultimate answer in one place. I recorded the video explaining how to do that using a helper table. I call this approach the Flows Table pattern. [Coda trick: User-specific filters] TL;DR: Create a table where each row is linked to each Coda user. Set up its columns to act as controls (checkboxes,…

And an example :

How to disable a button if current user doesn't have a role, specified in other table

Hi @Dmitry_Kuchev and Welcome to the Community ! Maybe something like this would work as a Disable if formula in your button : Users.Filter(People = User()).First().Roles = [Role 3] In my very quick test, this disables the button if the Current user (User()) was assigned the [Role 3] Here’s a screenshot of the doc I used to test this, which might be similar to yours [Disable if - Setup] And what the Disable if formula Users.Filter(People = User()).First().Roles = …

Hi,

i haven’t used it by myself but i read in another topic this is already possible with the Doc Explorer Pack. Check out this doc to get a better insight. You can also text @Scott_Collier-Weir. He is the publisher of the pack and can tell you what’s possible and what’s not.

Sincerely

The SelectedRow is a global user variable which allows any user to click and select a row. I can then use SelectedRow.COL_NAME to reference any of its property. Currently I think the only way to do this is to manually set up a button, program the button, click the button add it to a seperate table, and then you have to grab the Coda object from that table. Or some other workaround. It’s way more intuitive to have a SelectedRow

For the roles: this is an inside of the doc user role system. What I mean is a Global role system that applies to all docs. Coda doesn’t have proper in-doc privacy settings, which means I have to put all the sensitive data in other docs and push it to some other docs, it’s quite annoying to do this

Thank you for the suggestion - I think this is done with the Coda APIs?

Ah! Understood !

Thanks for adding some more context @Jake_Nguyen1 !
