I just started using Bubble two weeks ago.

I’ve seen a question a few times, about how to pre-populate data in a new User’s account.

I did this by giving new Users a guest_list to a read_only project.

  1. Add the field guest_list (list of Users) in the Project data type.
  2. Add the field read_only (yes/no) in the Project data type.
  3. Set a Condition to disable the inputs if read_only = “yes”
  4. Add a Project in the admin account (“Campus Canines”), fill it out, and make it read_only.
  5. Every time a new User is created, they are added to the guest_list for “Campus Canines.”
  6. Every time a User creates a Project, they are added to its guest_list.
  7. Projects check to see if a User is on the guest_list (rather than using “Created by”).

“Campus Canines” shows up every user’s first project, as soon as they sign up.

I’m sure there are better ways, but this seems to work. Have you seen a different way to do this?

Instead of a list of users, you can just add a list of text (unique id of the user) to the project list.

We would personally set up a permission table, which allows to expand on permission levels if needed.

The latter would be more recommended!
