Custom Permissions for roles

During one of Kirk Trachy's office hours, he implied that I could give EOTI permissions that would allow viewing or editing of records in a table that were created within the last 5 minutes of the date created time.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or should I go to another office hours? :)

    Any formula field can be used to control Role Permissions.  So for example you can make a formula checkbox field such as

    IF(Now() - [Date Created] < Minutes(5), true)

    Then use that in a Custom Role Permission

      Not quite following the second step "use that in a custom role permission."

      Is there a way to say,"If checkbox is true, then allow EOTI role to view record"?

        EOTI is not different that any other Role except for you you do the invitation.  The first step is that you need to set up that Role, called say EOTI.  Then you need to go to the Users icon and then the blue link to invite new users and then the icon for the notebook and then search for 

        everyone on the internet

        spelled exactly like that.  If it does not come up with a hit, then you need to contact Quick Base support to open up your Realm to allow that. 

        Great, now 4.48 billion (and counting - google would not lie to me) people on this planet (and perhaps even more aliens on other planets) have access to the internet and hence access to your app.

        Once you do that you can then set the Custom Permission for that Role just like any other Role to control their Permissions and user Interface.
