How can you share a Quickbase application with others?

Sharing a Quickbase application with others primarily involves assigning users or groups specific roles and permissions. This approach ensures that individuals have the appropriate access levels necessary for their tasks. By managing user roles, you can control what information they can view, edit, or manage within the application, thus maintaining data security and integrity.

Each role can be tailored to reflect the user's responsibilities, allowing for a collaborative environment where team members have distinct functions within the application. This method supports effective collaboration and governance over the data shared within the app.

While other options, like sending a direct link via email or publishing it publicly on the web, may seem plausible for sharing, they lack the security and control offered by role assignments. Exporting the application as a file doesn't facilitate ongoing collaboration within Quickbase and may limit the ability for real-time data interaction and updates by the users. Hence, assigning specific roles and permissions not only aids in sharing but also enhances the overall functionality and security of the application.
