This page is for PhixFlow administrators, modellers or developers who need to restrict access to specific columns of data in grid views.

Overview

In some cases we might come across the fact that we you may not want to give the users permission to view one or multiple columns in a grid view. 

Here's a quick way of doing this : 

1: Open the grid view.

2: Click on the Column you want to restrict the access to.

3 On the Stream Attribute Configuration Panel go to Stream Attribute Details and click on the "Name"

4. In the Stream Attribute Panel go to "Access Permissions".

5. In the "Access Permissions" Panel un-tick "All Users Can View Data".

6. In the newly expanded panel click on the "Show the list of User Groups" icon and select the Group or Groups you want or don't want to be able to see that column or columns.
