Restrict App Data (based on the logged-in user)

You might have a need to personalize the sheet data that a user can access in the app. There is a way to restrict data access so that different users can be shown different rows when using the app.

1. Go to www.utilize.app/home and click on an app to open the builder
   
   
2. Go to the “Users” tab
   
   
3. Go to the sheet whose data you want to restrict (For example, your users' sheet is “Employees” and the sheet that your want to restrict is “Projects”)
   
   
4. Click on Restrict Access
   
   
5. To restrict sheet data, the current sheet should be linked to the users' sheet (Click here to read how to link sheets. This requires a user-related column in the current sheet (For example, create a link to the Employees users sheet using the “Assigned To” column in the “Tasks” sheet)
   
   
6. Select the link column created after linking the users' sheet
   
   
7. Publish the app

Now if you create a screen with the sheet (a user who has access to an app screen created with the Tasks sheet can only see project data that is linked to them)
