Access to DataPage based on user level

[Paolo]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to create a log in DataPage that, depending on the user level (Admin, Developer or Customer), will grant or deny access to another DataPage. The user type (level) is a field of Users Table. So the process would be: 1) register as a user with email and username (already done that) - 3 different Forms for each user type/level; 2) After a user has registered they can log in; 3) Depending on which type of user logs in, they will be granted access to a different DataPage or even  to the same DataPage but with different permissions.

How do I do that? I couldn't find anything on the Help pages.

Thank you.

Hello @Paolo,

As a first step, you may want to create a Standalone Login Screen.

Then, to Restrict Access to Data by User or Role,  you may want to use Record Level Security feature: https://howto.caspio.com/authentications-and-connections/authentication/record-level-security/restrict-access-to-data-by-user-or-role/

Also, if you need to create User-Specific Redirects After Login please check the next link: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/common-customizations/create-user-specific-redirect-after-login/

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot @sandy159! I actually figured that by myself but thanks all the same. Really appreciated. I'm just starting to learn this platform
