#Security I have a record which has a nested element users related to it with multiple users. All those users are allowed to see the record.

I tried to set the standard filter to that nested element and got an error message.

Is there a way to limit the visibility of a record to a list of users?

I know the best practice document recommends a groupId per record, but I am afraid that this is not feasible for our case.

Hi Moritz, I think this has been discussed already and I remember that filtering for nested multiples is not possible. Maybe a database view just for the list helps.

OK. Thanks for the information! By using a view you mean, that we should expose the content of the nested element as a comma separated string through it I suppose?

I'll talk to our business user to see whether they are OK with us enforcing the security only on the record dashboard level. Probably the easiest thing to do.

Similar record security has been a pain point for us as well. Restrictions here have forced us to utilize Service-Backed Records (with nice success I might mention). Here are a few threads containing the discussions:
