How to See and Manage User Permissions in Airtable

Managing user permissions in Airtable can get confusing fast, especially when your workspace starts growing and multiple people are working across different bases and interfaces.

You might expect to find a single admin view that lists all collaborators, their access levels, and what they can edit, but Airtable doesn’t currently offer that kind of centralized control panel.

Instead, permissions are spread across different areas of your workspace. To understand who has access to what, you’ll need to check three different places.

Workspace Permissions

Start with your workspace settings. Open your workspace, click the workspace name, and go to Collaborators.

This section shows everyone who has access to your entire workspace and their roles (like Owner, Creator, or Editor). Only workspace owners can view or manage this list.

Base Permissions

Next, open each base and click the Share button in the top-right corner. This panel lists all users who have direct access to that specific base, along with their permission level.

This view helps you see if someone has access to a base without necessarily being part of the full workspace.

Interface Permissions

Finally, permissions for Interfaces are managed separately. Inside any Interface, click the Share Interface button in the top-right corner.

You’ll see a breakdown of who can view or edit that interface and any access differences between users.

While it’s not ideal that Airtable doesn’t provide a single unified admin dashboard, checking these three places ensures you can review and adjust every collaborator’s permissions across your workspace, bases, and interfaces.
