Read-only access permissions for data tables

I was hoping to have more ways of locking down tables. Currently, if I lock down a table for a user, they can't modify, edit or even see the table. My specific request is this - I would want an access provision that would allow them to see the table (and export it if needed) but not be able to modify or edit it. This would mimic a "read-only" access provision.

    I have the same issue. This is a major problem for me preventing personnel from being able to modify a table for which they need access. Read only option 100% required

    @Arjun_839690 @Gary_165299 This would be a good enhancement. A couple thoughts for workarounds today:

    • Set up a pushbot on a scheduled trigger that creates a copy of a data table. The original table could have restricted permissions, while the copy could have more open permissions.
    • Schedule an email delivery of a summary report in Excel to those people who need to see the data, but should be able to edit it.
