Link firebase data to user (groups)

Questions about Thunkable
1

I have a students who wants to link firebase data to users (and user groups). So you only see the data selected by the user group but you should be able to select / add from the whole database.

I do not really know how to approach this and have not found material for that problem.

And ideas would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This is not a Thunkable issue per say but rather a database rule that you have to follow and implement in the database.

Thank you for the link, Muneer!
So, we can set it up such that each user can only change his/her data.

What about the user groups? The users in that group should be able to edit their data.
And there should be a view where only their data is visible (in addition to another one where they can select data sets from the whole database).

Thanks again!

You can of course do the same for groups.
