+4Hello, does anyone know if we can limit the number of records a user can download? I know I can restrict all downloads, but I would like a user to be able to download a report into Excel (csv) but not be able to download every record. Or is there a way to monitor how many records a user downloads? I'm just worried about all of our data walking out the door!
+24You cannot do that directly, but suppose you are trying to protect your customer list. You can take away the user's ability to view the Customer table and instead provide a link to a report where the user need to say provide the first three characters of the customer name and have the report match on that value in an <ask the user> report targeting a formula field.
You would also need to take away the user's ability to create or modify reports
+4Okay, thanks Mark and Chayce. Yes, it's a precarious situation because there is a legitimate advantage for them being able to download some of the records to work in Excel. I don't want to take away the option completely and users still need the ability to see all records also.
Too bad QuickBase doesn't have a built-in limiter on the number of records a user can download or some safeguards against that "one" malicious actor.
