generally available
User roles is now generally available.
You can now set different permissions for subsets of your users using our powerful user roles functionality.
This can be turned on from Setup Home and then configured to give as many different user roles as you need. Each user roles can have access to different data and pages within your app.
Note: this is a feature available on the Pro plan. If you'd like to try it and you aren't on the Pro plan you can create a new app where you can try out all the features.

Another sneak peek of this feature! Here we have five user roles setup and we are using them to determine who can see a list of videos.

Thank you all for the interest! I'll be including you all in the beta starting from next week. Here's a sneak peek of how roles will work in Stacker.
Amanda Martin
Sam Davyson: Roles are conceptually what is known as ACLs I suppose, or Groups in Unix. While the definition of what a Role gives access to makes sense to stay in Stacker, it'd make sense for actual membership to one (or more Roles) to be a (multiple field) column in Airtable, for any given row.
Sam Davyson
Amanda Martin: Thanks for this - that is interesting perspective. For now each user in Stacker will have a single role associated with them, but you will be able to associate permission rules with multiple roles.
Amanda Martin
Sam Davyson: it's already a column in Airtable, it's just single field. That's fine as is, it's all good. The multiple roles were bonus.

Leaving a comment. :-)

in progress
Work is underway to deliver multiple user roles within a single portal. Users will be able to see different tables, records, fields and pages! We are hoping to open the beta in mid-February. Leave a comment here if you’d like to be in the first bunch of portals that gets this enabled.

Sam Davyson: I would like to be a part of the Beta. I am busy developing a booking platform, so I want people who are trying to book people to only see specific tables, or users, than the actual users who would see their individual diary/bookings.
Amanda Martin
Sam Davyson: me too
Amanda Martin
Sam Davyson: directly useful (separate feature I suppose) is for these additional user roles to be able to Favorite (heart, etc, much like one does with products in an online store) the content available in their views. The admin should be able to see/export their favorites list. This has immediate business use for agency operations.

Sam Davyson: I'd also love to be a part of the Beta - I can't really use the portal until permissions per user is a thing

I have a client who would like the ability to disable printing and CSV download but edit records. This is not currently possible directly through Airtable.

Merged in a post:
I want my users to edit their profile, but see other user profiles

For our use case, PERMISSIONS PER USER would allow for most/all situations. Just make Setup:Permissions work on a User basis, instead of a global setting.

I have multiple videography clients and I'd like them to log into the same portal but only see the tables applicable to them.

I can offer one case where one user should be allowed to edit a table with vendor datapoints, and other users should be able to edit product datapoints (different tabel) the vendor offers, but nog the generic vendor data points.
