Hi,

I am building an app and I would like the app user to have the option to add other users [3 or 4 users]. I am planning to use Firebase DB. Would it be possible for the main user to add other users and other users will be able to see the main user’s data? Each user will have their own login.

I checked the community and saw these links below- Are they related?

> My App is currently on both stores and I would prefer not to do a complete re-write. I have had requests to allow other family members to be able to use the App on their phones but each family member to share the data and be able to edit the data. The App stores information about caravanning, weights, checklists and park information Considering my App stores in Local DB and there is maybe 80 different text boxes being saved in Local DB, what is the best way to achieve this. Do I have change …

Hi. Check out [this tutorial](https://draganddropcode.com/login-and-profile-tutorial/)

It is based on a template app that has registration/login/profile stuff.

@David_Wolber I checked and the tutorial is for just a normal user login, right? My question is how I can share the user data of one user with other approved users.

Hi. The [login/profile app](https://draganddropcode.com/login-and-profile-tutorial/) provides the infrastructure for an app like you describe. The underlying Google sheet has a row for each user including user name. You can use the user name to “mark” the posts that each user makes.

You’ll need to add a second spreadsheet for your user posts. Say users can post an appreciation note. You’d have a spreadsheet with columns for 1) user name (author), and 2) appreciation text.

When you display the posts, you can show the post and the user name of the author in your Data Viewer List or Grid

I plan to create a tutorial for such an app, just not there yet. This [app](https://draganddropcode.com/meet-my-classmates-app/) can help, but it doesn’t have login.
