Help me!

Hi Team,

can we disable the add/edit button or hide it from the listing and detail page.

Thanks,
Sourabh

Hello @sourabht,

If you want to disallow the creation and edition for everyone, the simplest is to change the layout preferences of your collection:

  1. Click on the :paintbrush: paintbrush icon on the top right of your screen to activate the Layout editor
  2. In the sidebar, locate the collection you want to edit, and click on the corresponding :gear: gear icon
  3. In the General tab, uncheck the following options:
    • Allow record creation
    • Allow record update

This will hide the corresponding buttons in the list and in the detail views.

Ok, thanks for your answer.

If these checkboxes are not present, it means that your project have the feature “roles” activated, and you can activate or deactivate these features in the roles section of the project settings:

  1. Go to your project settings (Click on your name on the top-right, then project settings)
  2. Click on the Roles tab
  3. Select the role you want to edit
  4. Scroll down to the list of collections,
  5. Click on “edit permissions”
  6. Uncheck the actions Update and Create in the appropriate collection
  7. Save

Hi @sourabht,

It should work though!

Did you select the right environment on the left side of your Roles tab?
Indeed, the permissions vary from one environment to another.

If despite this clarification you still don’t manage to forbid the add / edit buttons, can you please share:

  • your project name
  • the environment and the collection you’re on when checking if the buttons are displayed

Thanks.
