Hi,
I have a problem with permission.
I manage a lot of host families and a lot of students.
Host Families can see and edit their own records (FamilyName = UserID StudentName = StudentName)

Students can see and edit their own records. (Student name = UserID FamilyName = FamilyName)
How can I grant students to see the records of their own family -not the others- without creating a group for each family ?

How can I grant Host family to see some records of the student without creating a group for each student ?

and how can I grant Host family to edit one record of the student without creating a group for each student ?
how can I do this?
Kind regards

Hi,
here are some tips:

  1. create two custom views on the Datasource tables tab: one for families and one for students.
  2. create two security groups: Families and Students on the Security tab and assign correct permissions for each group.
  3. select different OwnerID for these views on the Advanced security settingsdialog on the Security tab.
