Re: Limit on data attribute - category options

 

Dear all,

This is also a requirement for us but we are wondering if it is possible to
implement a "user" visibility of the data sets category options. For
example a user from Spain only being acessible to the Spain Implementer
Partners or a user only accessing to the category options where he's in
charge to enter data.

Thanks a lot!
