Portal Visitor Permissions - How to use Record Creator role

Posted by Rollbase User on 13-Jun-2011 16:14

Suppose I have a spreadsheet with contact details including a unique username for 3000 people. I imported this list into Rollbase. I want the users to be able to login to a portal and view/edit their OWN contact details - but not have access to view/edit other users contact details. In other words, there is no self-registration page because the records have already been created through some other means. Since all of the records were created by me when I imported the list, I can not use the "Record Creator" role while assigning permissions. Is there a way I can change the Record Creator value for the imported records? Thanks, Mike

How these people will login to your portal? Are you going to send them emails with credentials?



Anyway I thing it is reasonable to allow people to manage their own records - let me thing about the best way to do that.

I will provide new server-side API



serCreator(objName, id, creatorName, creatorId)

objName - object name to modify

id - record ID to modify

creatorName - "USER" of visitor's object name

creatorId - ID of user or visitor



This API will require Admin permissions.



Please note that documentation is currently frozen due to ongoing book project, so just use description above.
