Other than making someone admin, is there an option to provide access to someone to look at the table and app structure?

Not really. You can make a copy of the app, but that gets complied if you have cross app relationships.

You can tidy up your relationship diagram and print that off.

When there are people that have access to make modifications to fields but I don't want them to have full admin rights. I like to provide them with some documentation.  One of those documents is a screen shot of the App Schema on some dashboard in the application.  That way before they make changes they are sure about the proper connections and fields to use.

We also use a schema tracking tool that monitors all the changes made to an application so we can trace back changes that might have caused issues.

Thanks both.  In this  case I am merely getting some help from IT to document the app and they are not likely to change any thing.  But to do so they need to see the table structure as well.  Hence this requirement.  I think providing access to a back up copy is a good solution. 

What too are you referring to Matt.  That would be quite useful if I could employ that?

If I am giving option to a role to manage users, how do  ensure that the user does not give themselves or someone else the admin role?
