How to Share a Table or App Quickly With Roles
To share a table or app quickly, you open the share option on that specific item and add the roles that need it, adjusting what each one can do within it.
Why access requests pile up
If granting access means navigating to a permissions area, it gets batched, delayed, and forgotten.
- Someone blocked for a day waiting for access
- Permissions granted too broadly to avoid asking again
- Access managed in a separate area disconnected from the item
- No quick way to see who can already reach something
What quick sharing covers
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Add a role | Grants access to this specific table or app |
| Adjust powers | Sets what that role can do within the item |
| See current access | Lists every role that already has it |
| Works on both | Available on tables and on apps |
How to do it in Jestor
- Open the table or app in Jestor and choose share.
- Review the roles that already have access, including super root.
- Add the role that needs it.
- Set its level — interact, for using and filling, or full control for editing.
- Adjust what that role can do specifically within this item, then save.
Why choose Jestor for access speed?
Jestor puts sharing on the item rather than in a central permissions area, which is what turns an access request from a ticket into a thirty-second action.
Super root always appears in the list as a reminder that it has access to everything — a useful prompt to keep that level restricted to one or two people.
