Individual authorization for data items or for requests

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Inventy_1984 17

Hello together,

 

I've built an app with which we can submit requests for personnel requests, which then have to be approved. 

 

The problem is that everyone can currently access the app or see the items, but only the one who request should see his data set. 

Is it possible to restrict the datathat only the creator can see it?

 

The database is a SharePoint list.

    On the app side if you are using a gallery you can add a filter to show only the items that were created by the logged in user. However this isn't security, it is obscurity because the someone could go directly to SharePoint and see the data. If you implement real security on the SharePoint side then the SharePoint list and the app would only show the items the user has access to. There are a couple of settings in the list settings advanced settings page that could help without having to break inheritance on every item. 

     

    Settings : Advanced Settings > Item-level Permissions

    Read access: Specify which items users are allowed to read

    • Read all items
    • Read items that were created by the user

    Create and Edit access: Specify which items users are allowed to create and edit

    • Create and edit all items
    • Create items and edit items that were created by the user
    • None

    Hi Super User ,

     

    Unfortunately, I was absent due to sickness, so it wasn´t possible to answer earlier. Many thanks for your fast and super support. That will help me a lot with my implementation. I was afraid that it wouldn't work at all 🙂

     

    Br and have a nice week start
