Changing a role to add edit capability

Hello,

I am kind of a new Admin, so please excuse me if I miss something simple.

I have a role I created that should have full permission to add, delete, and edit records in a table.  I am an Admin, so I can edit the field that is giving us problems.  However, the person in that role cannot edit that same field.  For this particular table I checked everything to give him full access, but he still cannot make changes to this field in any given record.

Any Idea what I am missing.  Is there a time frame thing I don't know about?

    Found the answer.  In the Roles>User interface tab the "Hide Multi Record Options" was not checked, but I checked it and the problem resolved.  Hope this helps someone else

    If you look at the field properties for that field and roll down the list of roles, you will probably see that some roles are limited in what they can do (none, view/ edit) . While, this capability to control editing at the field level is powerful, it is somewhat obscure and where possible I try to avoid using that granular control because if you get an app full of these limitations at the field level, it's very hard to maintain.

      Thank you.  I have a pretty small team to support, but it's nice to know I -could- get that granular, but it shouldn't be necessary.

      "Hide Multi Record Options" hides the grid edit ability. Is it possible you checked one of the "Edit" checkboxes in the same settings menu? I think that is probably what solved it. It is like a list of checkboxes under the heading "Edit" for each table you have.

        It's possible.  Like I said, I am fairly new but learning as fast as I can.  I created the role a while back, but we just started teaching the person who needs that ability.  It's working now, and I have a place to look should I need to.
