What is needed for an action to edit a record?

For an action to edit a record in Quickbase, a User Token is essential. User Tokens serve as a proof of identity and authorization for specific operations within Quickbase. When you perform an action that requires modifying a record, the system needs to ensure that the user executing the action has the appropriate permissions and access rights. A User Token verifies that the request is legitimate and that the user has the necessary privileges to make changes, thus ensuring both security and compliance with data management rules.

While other options relate to data management and organizational structure in Quickbase, they do not directly address the requirements for editing a record. For instance, a Relationship defines how different tables connect but doesn't grant permissions for actions. A Report Link helps to associate data between tables but similarly does not facilitate editing rights. The Master Record may play a role in data organization or hierarchy but does not pertain to user authorization for editing. Thus, the User Token is the key element for executing edits on records, as it qualifies the user's authority within the application.
