RE: [PHP] sharing records with assigned users

[snip] If, in the table I'm storing my records, I create a field which stores the Users allowed access to that particular record, then in case of multiple users, that single field will hold multiple user names... Which is a problem for me. And I might be applying a very wrong approach, logically, which is why I came forward for some assistance. [/snip] use a column for user levels (you'll only have a few) in the record and then add a column in the user table that designates what level that user is. RECORD TABLE Record ID UserLevels RecordFoo admin, user, read-only USER TABLE User Level Bob user Junkie admin Sue read-only
