Hiding Tables in Table Bar

I hide many of my tables from most user roles. However, when I add a new table it defaults to be visible, and I have to manually go through each role and hide the table. Is it possible to default to hide, or to go to the table itself and choose that option?

In the table settings, I know I can set access per role, but only permissions, I don't see user interface. Can the user interface per role be set from the table settings?

  • Hello Mike, 

    I am not real clear on the question in regard to defaulting to hidden, but you can just hide the table in the tables advanced settings.  You would then uncheck the box that says - - Override the heading with 

    This will hide the table regardless of the permissions set in the roles.  However, it also hides the table from the admin.  You can still get to the table settings, but the table will not be visible in the table bar.

      Thanks Brandon. That work around is not quite what I need because I need to be able to see the table, I just don't want users in other roles to be able to see the table, but I might be able to use that in some of my situations.

        As a developer/admin; switch into Settings and you have access to ALL tables in the app regardless of the Menu Bar setting.  This is how I curate access for Users to the right tables but keep my own access unaffected.  It would definitely help if on the ACCESS area of the TABLE we were able to turn this feature on/off for all Roles - this should be a feedback item if it isn't already.

  • Mike,

    I have never found a solution to this other than to hide all tables for the Role.   

    Let me know if you get an answer.
