Role based access in Model driven apps.

Hi, I have been trying to implement role based access in model driven apps. I have tried it with security roles but the problem is that all the data is imported into the app by a single user and the owner field is occupied by a that users value. Is there any other way to implement it. For eg. by extracting current users email ID and matching it with the email field in the table. if it is possible please do tell how its achievable.

Thank you.

Hello @Sarvesh_A,

You have two options to do this:
Use custom code to define how a form is displayed based on information in the entity, e.g. read-only if the email address in one field does not match the email address of the current user.
Change the owner of the rows inside the table programmatically: You could build a flow, for example, that looks up the user account in the "User" table based on the email address, and then assigns the row by changing the "Owner" field to this user. I would suggest using this approach, because once you have set the owner correctly, the standard role based access model can be used.
