Prerequisites

  • A portal with user accounts set up and integrated with Airtable.

Every user who creates an account in your portal will have their own profile page that is associated with their user record on Airtable. User groups is a great way to limit which fields they have access to and can edit.

After selecting a field, you will be presented with options to determine who can see this field from their profile page. This is useful when you only want specific groups of users to see the selected field from your table.

Linked Record Fields

Pory supports displaying and modifying linked record fields from the User table. However, we highly recommend creating a user listing instead.

  1. Select the linked records to include into the profile page.

  1. For each group, you can set whether they can:
  • Edit: edit the values of a selected record (you can select the values in the Detailed View tab)
  • Create: save a new record and link it to the user
  • Remove: unlink the selected linked record

Or you can select View Only if you only want them to see the information but not modify it.
