Form without Login

[Fabian_Weller]

We have an App with User Sign In that is used by our backoffice.
Sometimes we need extra info from a client.
We would like to give him the possibility to open a form and enter the missing infos.
This should work without Login.

Does anybody has an idea how to do this?
I think I should create a second App. But how can I ensure, that the client only sees his own data? I would need security filter but how would be the expression?

First, for public apps, I think you’ll be another appsheet account… Second, from a security perspective, does it matter if each client could some how gain access to one another’s information?

[Fabian_Weller]

I would try to do this with an UniqueID like a token. I know that’s not ideal but I think it would be possible using security filter.
With that it’s nearly impossible to see data from another client.

[Grant_Stead]

This would be in violation of Appsheet’s terms of use for public apps.

@Fabian
Security Filters are by-default turned off with the Publisher account so the user won’t be able to read any table’s data from the app. This will also prevent you using any de-refs, lookups or anyother expressions as they will all return void. FYI.

Thank you very much for your input @Grant_Stead and @LeventK.

So is there any possibility without user sign in?

Wouldn’t it be easier if you use adds instead of update. Create a public app and ask a unique code. That code could be a parent record’s ID (send it to your client with an email). Then you can see client’s reply as a related child record. If you use the security option “Filter out all existing rows” it should work.

Thank you Aleksi. Sounds like a solution. Will try that.

You’re welcome
