Intent: I would like to distribute forms to User X, User Y and User Z. These forms would be pre-populated with existing data on their ongoing projects. Every month, say for User X, he will only be able to see his own details and validate the information based on what he provided last month. If there are no changes, that's it. If there are changes, he makes it in the form and the information gets updated in the tables. When all users complete their validation, I will churn a report which consolidates all the information across all users.
I tried finding the best way to go about executing this and landed on MS Access (if there's something else, please do share. I'm not the most tech-savvy person).
So I have a database, created my forms but how do I go about sharing only the forms to my users and updating my database. Resources I have include:
- SharePoint Online (may or may not have access to it...)
- Outlook
- Desktop Access
I am open to various scenarios involving direct updating through SharePoint, or even manually updating the forms received through them via email if it is possible.
My most important consideration is data security. User X should not be able to see the details of other users. User-level security from older versions of Access could probably do that but its no longer in the newer version and a check online suggests it isn't the most secure option. More specifically, I think row-level security is something I am looking for but it is not available in Access?
Any help would be much appreciated.
