We would like the ability to create our own custom roles that can be linked to users when using the Advanced Permissions option in a solution. We would like the ability to enter a name and description and also select the specific read, write,update and delete permissions. In addition we need the ability to control access to specific records using the Assigned To field. The newly created role should then be displayed in the Advanced Permission Role Selection menu. Please note that products like Stacker and Bubble provide this type of capability and it is very useful.

I didn't realize until a couple of days ago that SmartSuite doesn't provide any way to limit the sharing of solutions by users. Seems this should be a requirement for any solution that's going to be used in law, or business. Until about two years ago (maybe less), Airtable was the same way. I as owner/creator share a base with my client. She shares it with one or two or three of her employees (at her level of privileges or lower). And those employees in turn were free to share it with other people — their spouse, themselves at a different email address, a reporter from the New York Times, an attorney or paralegal working on the other side of the lawsuit, etc. I screamed about it and am happy to say that in 2021, Airtable added a crucial capability: any user can now suggest an invite of another user, but the suggestions come to me as owner/creator and must be approved first. This is (I think) NOT the default in Airtable, but it's an option, which is all that I need. In someways SmartSuite has more granular control over permissions than Airtable so I think I presumed SmartSuite can also allow me to control who re-shares the database. Just learned that I was wrong about this and I'm fairly miffed. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. The owner/admin of a solution must be able to control who gets access to the very very valuable business data inside the solution. Otherwise, what? We're on the honor system? And let me anticipate a response that I got in the Airtable community. Smart users at first didn't believe what I was saying back then, and when I proved I was right, they said "Well, you can never keep the data in the database 100% secure." Yes, that's right. Even if you control who gets login access to the solution, you can't (or probably wouldn't want to) keep them from, say, downloading a CSV, or taking a screenshot. But allowing users to give other users same-level access to the entire solution? Why would we do that? It's like letting the bank vault stand open all day and allowing any banker or secretary to let anybody they like wander into the vault and access lock boxes.

I love the structure of the Permissions on how application permissions can override solution permissions, and also noticed permissions on the field level are coming soon. Checked for "permissions on the view level" in the community, YouTube and checked if possible in the tool, and couldn't find it. For example, I have the work logs of my staff in an app, where I need to share different views with different people. Will hide the "rate" column, and share it with the project manager, need to share the dashboard view with the client, and so on... Is it possible SS is considering this case or is this topic already discussed in the community? super thanks!

We already have the ability to set conditions for viewing/hiding record sections, but it would be brilliant if we could set access permissions for sections as well. Use case example: we have a public facing dashboard for clients to view and book available appointments. The appointments are records that are also used for admins to view the client list for the day and therefore have some private information in them. I want the clients to be able to just open an appointment slot from the calendar to view location details and how many appointments are left at that time while hiding the record sections containing client and admin components from those using the public view.

List with all the users and what solutions they have access to.

This Workspace Role would allow the following for Certified SmartSuite Consultants who build applications for their customers: Create a customer workspace Develop in the Customer's workspace Remain on their customer's workspace indefinitely as a free license Cannot be removed other than by themselves Not lose access to solutions built on handover Be able to sell products / solutions to customers and bill monthly I feel this type of role will positively impact SmartSuite as more and more developers would move their clients over to SmartSuite due to this functionality. It will provide certified consultants the opportunity to build up a monthly recurring revenue (MRR) model and not rely purely on new development projects.

I want Account permissions to overrule Account Group permissions to allow for a granular access. Currently: A "higher" (assignee) Account Group permissions overrule "lower" (commenter) Account permissions. In future I want: any (higher or lower) Account permissions overrule Account Group permissions.

In order for the user to have access to Linked record data between different solutions the user has to have permissions for both solutions. This is a problem as the user would have access to view all data in both solutions. Another problem is that because there is no permissions between the solutions Linked Records across solutions cannot be viewed in FillOut. With permissions between solutions user with access to Solution A should be able to pull up data in linked records to Solution B without user access to Solution B. Also FillOut should be able to be connected to Solution A but have access to Linked Records to Solutions B in Solution A

I have a table of people, connected to companies, and lots of other Solutions. Some of the people in the person table have an account (they are SmartSuite users), others don't, yet I need to keep track of a lot of things on people with and without an account. It would be great if one could set up that a given table contains a column that identifies the user, and then be able to filter all Solutions/tables where their name is listed.
