Restrict Guest Users Access, especially to Save As feature

Hi Evan,
"Your other users should still be able to use the Import/Export link, they just loose access to that more handy Save as Spreadsheet"

In response to above, this is what I tried -

App Settings:  not checked
Permissions: Edit App Structure: Not checked
UI: Imp/Export: Not checked

Yes Save as Spreadsheet is disabled (good), and Import/Export shows (ok), and Export is grayed out/disabled (doesn't work), and Import is Enabled (not good for my app).

Any advice?

Hi Ruby,

Yes that would be disabled if you used the option I mentioned to only allow Admins to export and didn't give them Permissions to Edit the App Structure. App Structure edit permissions are what differentiates a basic user from an Admin. With the check in the application settings to not allow non admins to export data that would disable all the export options for non admins but doesn't touch on import permissions.
