Create Your First User Table in Knack
User roles are the foundation of your app’s security system. They control who can log in, what data they can access, and which pages they can see.
Steps Covered in This Video
- Find User Roles in the left-hand panel (marked with a user icon).
- Add a new role by clicking + Plus Role and naming your role.
- To edit existing roles, click the three dots → User Role Settings.
- Rename the User Role table.
- Customize the welcome message.
- Set default sort order for records.
- Navigate to the Fields tab:
- Notice built-in fields like Name, Email, Password, Status.
- Add your own custom fields (e.g., hire date, phone number, company).
👉 Remember: Regular tables store data, while User Role tables store people who log in. Use them when you need secure access for employees, managers, or customers.
