Hi, first off thank you to the wonderful support staff and forum users. We have only needed assistance once and the team has been great. Every other issue we have found a fix for by using the forum search.
This is more of a much needed suggestion rather than a direct question. We have been going around is circles for weeks now. We have a very simple app. Users registers, then login and can take pictures and other input fields that will get sent direct to a DB collection. We are using ACL so that only those users can see the items that they have entered. Now we would like to add an input field for a groupID. The idea is if anyone enters their groupID, they will be able to see any data entered by anyone with that same groupID.
What would be the best approach to achieve this? We are new so any help would be much appreciated.
We have tried creating a new database and collection and replicating the columns from the main collections but can’t seem to get the app to write to it. We also tried creating just a new collections, replication the columns and creating a pointer. But the database doc is very vague regarding pointers. It helped us understand it but not how to implement it in a real life scenario.
We are thinking that we are overthinking this.
