Trying to Understand the Purpose of “Self Data”

There’s an option called “Self Data” under Register settings. What does this mean? Does it restrict users to seeing only their own records?

Typically, yes. Self Data settings control whether users can view only their own entries.

It’s often used when you want record-level visibility restrictions.

So this works in addition to role permissions?

Yes, it’s an additional layer of control.

So even if someone has view permission, Self Data can still restrict them?

Correct.

That’s a powerful feature. Important to configure carefully.
