Questions about about users only having access to their data.

  • Roy started the conversation

    I saw your tutorial video where it was shown how to configure the table such that users can only access their own data in a shared table.

    User A has access to Data A.

    User B has access to Data B.


    My question is: Is it possible for a group of two or more users to have access to just their data and a different group of users to have access to just their data?

    Users A & B have access to Data AB.

    Users C & D have access to Data CD.

    Hi, Roy 

    Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

    -

    That is correct, we have the built-in feature for users to view and edit only their own data, based on user ID; as you saw on the video, we also have this documentation on it.

    That goes for editable tables;

    for non-editable we have a bit more customized workaround, based on user ID.

    -

    Now, for several people/ or a group to have access to certain data, that can be achieved.

    We have an example, i will show you, and i hope that will help to get you started in the right direction.

    If the dependency is a user role, for example, we could make it work.

    If I have this table:

    This is a manual table which has manually entered IDs from wp_users and roles from wp_usermeta:

    7855603551.png
    6462766399.png
    7686895681.png

    So, then I go to create an SQL query based table which will display entries based on user roles using this query:

    SELECT  new_table.id AS ID,        new_table.role AS Role,        new_table.product AS Product,        new_table.amount AS Amount
    FROM wp_wpdatatable_6 AS new_table
    JOIN wp_usermeta AS new_table_1
    ON new_table_1.user_id = %CURRENT_USER_ID%
    AND new_table_1.meta_value LIKE CONCAT('%', new_table.role, '%')
    

    When I'm logged in with user ID = 1, I see this:

    9999185249.png

    When I'm logged in with user ID = 4, I see the same thing. And when I'm logged in as one of the subscribers, I can only see the rows where role = subscriber:

    The only difference is that as subscriber I don't have access to back-end, so this confirms it is working on both front and back.

    So, we're only left with hiding unnecessary columns, adding names, and so on.

    Hope this helps.

    And, just wanted to point out that we have a Demo Sandbox site, where you can try out some of the functionalities, on this link

    and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, So if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)
