Set table permissions separately from the Solution permissions

Jeff Eusebio

It would be nice to be able to set table permissions entirely separately from the Solution permission. Right now permissions need to be first granted at the Solution level before they can be even selected at the table level.

Thank you for posting, Jeff Eusebio! I have a few more questions for you:

Can you provide a specific example of a situation where you needed to set table permissions separately from the Solution permissions?
What problems or challenges have you faced due to the current permission settings?
How would this change in permission settings improve your workflow or usage of our product?

Hi Jon Darbyshire, sure...

SmartSuite already provides this functionality.
If I want to grant access to a table, currently I must first grant permissions at the Solution level, even if they don't need access to anything other than that one table. If later I forget why I added them at the solution level and remove them, they are also removed at the table level with no additional warning provided.
Setting permissions at the table level would be much more straightforward.
