What do you mean by records are read based on certain flags? Like do you want only certain conditions to allow a specific user to be able to read the record?
If so, it's possible you can go to the role settings.
Go to the Users page in the app, and then click Manage Roles in the top right. It shows a list of roles, and click the business role. Then you can change the options in the view column to custom, and set the conditions when the given role is allowed to view records.
if the record is in a ready for review status then it should be read only, so no edits at all, UNLESS the field SUM - Updates is greater than 0. if SUM - Updates is greater than 0 and the record status is ready for review, then edits are allowed.
This process is working as expected under the admin role but not under the business roleNo problem, you can definitely do this. I'm guessing if a record is ready for review, then it has a status field saying as much. If you go to the role settings, maybe check Admin first it may already have custom permissions and you can just copy exactly what's there and apply it to the business role. If not, you can simply change the view permissions to custom and input rules as you described above. It should be straightforward.
i can try this but the admin role has no custom settings at all - it is allowed to edit and view all records. business role has the same setting already
