Data displayed by User only
Permalink Browser Info Environment
I am trying to setup a system where the User can enter data by a form and then view and edit only their own data/records that they have entered. All other users data is hidden from them. Is that possible and simple to set up? Of course Admins can see all data/records too.

I know this was posted almost a year ago but I would like to know how to do this as well. Owners can only view their records but administrators can view all records. Possible?
This is how I accomplished this:
First, edit the data display block so that the check box that says "Limit to records owned by user?" is checked.
Then in the block controller for data display I changed this:
to this:
So now, only record owners can view their records but the above addition to the block controller adds an exception for users that are in the "Administrators" group.

if($this->showOwnedRecords) { $asl->requireOwnership(); $fullasl->requireOwnership(); }
to this:
if($this->showOwnedRecords) { $u = new User(); //gets current user object $g = Group::getByName("Administrators"); if($u->inGroup($g)) { } else { $asl->requireOwnership(); $fullasl->requireOwnership(); } }
