Feature Access Settings

If you don't see certain items in your Feature Settings sheet and want to use that feature, please contact Support to manually update your system sheet.

Note: The "Edit Multiple Entries" in Listing Page tools is not supported in Feature Settings. Currently, only SYSAdmin or Survey Users (who will only be able to edit entries they have access to) can use this feature.

Feature Access Settings

Configuring Feature Access Settings

SYSAdmins and Group Administrators (under group tabs) are the highest privileged users, they are not limited by feature access settings and sheet access rights. They can change the design, access all records, and use all the features.

If you have a professional plan subscription or higher, you can customize access rights for specific features across user groups. Additionally, with sheet access rights, each user can have different access levels to various features on different sheets.

For example 1:

1. Amy belongs to both the Sales and HR groups.

2. The Sales group is granted the feature access to export data, but not the HR group.

On the Sales Order sheet, if the Sales group is set with Admin access rights, Amy will be allowed to export the data on this sheet.

On the Leave of Absence sheet, if the HR group is set with Admin access rights and the Sales group is set with No Rights, Amy will not be allowed to export the data on this sheet despite being able to view or edit all entries. This is because the HR user group is not granted to export data.

Therefore, if you would like to allow certain users to use specific features on particular sheets, you can create a new Group and grant the group the corresponding feature access and sheet access rights.

However, if features are granted access rights to the group EVERYONE, any user in the database will be able to use these features. This is contingent upon them having access rights to the sheet and meeting the requirements specified in the "Description" column in the grid above.

For example 2:

1. User Amy is in the Sales group.

2. The Sales group is not granted the feature access rights to export data from the Listing Page.

3. The EVERYONE group is granted the feature access rights to export data from the Listing Page.

4. The Sales group is set with Survey User access rights on the Sales Order sheet.

Under the above conditions, even if the EVERYONE group does not have access to the Sales Order sheet, Amy can still export data from the Sales Order sheet's Listing Page as a Survey User.
