PHPRunner General questions

How, specifically, do I set things up so that a group of users has access to certain groups of records?
For example, let's say the group is teachers, and they have a school code. I want them to be able to see, and only see, student records with a matching school code.
I have poked around extensively with security settings and it isn't quite clear to me.

I am new but a great fan of PHPR. How about you create a view and build your restrictions in it then specify in PHPR access level to each view. Say you build a view1 and add a condition where school_code = 'codevalue' and grant access to this view to only a specific access group who is entitled to view these records.
Hope this helps

That is a helpful thought but would require thousands of views. I know there must be a way to have a login have permission to view a record based on a field in that record, just can't figure out how.

use the advanced tab in the security page, use "users can seeand edit their own data only", set the field in the boxes to be the school code, then rebuild.

teachers can only see their own school records.
