How can I prevent a user from making a modification to the value being entered into an element, say input ,
For example, if I have an input for the invoice number, I do not want the user to modify it through the web developer tools available in Internet browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and others through the (Inspect) feature.
I tried to hide the element but I don't want to hide it, I just want to show it and not modify it.
I used hidden, as well as for readers only, but the user can cancel the read-only feature
for example :
enter image description here
It is possible to use hidden but it will cause a problem for my tables I don't want to duplicate items, as I will have to create an item for the product price that is visible and another item with the same data but hidden
You can't control what information the user sends to the server.
You need to perform authentication and authorization on the server.
If the server sends a request which, for example, says "Mark invoice 12345 as paid" then you need to check that the logged in user is a user who has permission to order that that particular invoice be marked as paid.

We have service where all user interaction is done via texting (iMessage) using Sendblue. We want users to be able to refer their friends to get free credits. The easiest way we can think of would be giving that user a link to send to their friends, which, when opened, would auto-populate a message to our number, the content of that message being the referring user's number. Example:
I (phone number +1234) want to refer my friends. I send them a link, which when they click, opens a text message to +4321 (the service) with the text prepopulated with my phone number, "+1234".
Right now the entire service is run through Zapier, so ideally would be able to work through that. You can also enter Javascript blocks into Zapier to manipulate data if that would help.
The only solution I have been able to come up with so far is create a different webpage for every person's phone number, which would just be a custom html link with the above that would be clicked automatically on page open.
Is there an existing service that does this (and ideally works with Zapier)? Or would I have to do what is described above? If so, what is the easiest way to integrate that data? Is there a way to automate webpage creation?
Any and all help is appreciated!
I'm new to using Microsoft Access, and I'm having trouble restricting a report's output to only the single row I'm interested in.
My organization has a relatively small client list, where a little of their information is used frequently (like their name and account status), and much is used infrequently but still important (like home phone and incident reports).
The way I want to display this information is to have a form that shows a list of our active clients with their most common information, and then has a "Details" button at the end of the client info for when people need to see the rest of that client's information.
So far, I've successfully made a form that links to an "ActiveClients_rpt" report that shows the most common info, and I've made another form that links to a "ClientDetails_rpt" report that shows all the detailed info. My problem is that when I try to restrict the results in the Client Details report by the user input in the Active Clients form, either I have to use a very unaesthetic option (like an ugly combo box that replicates the list of names the user can already see), or (if I try to do something like add a button inside a report) the form sends me the information of every client's detailed info, when I only want the info of the one client.
Is there some way I can use a report (or some other option) to tell Access to only pull information from the row in a list the button is located on? I've tried doing things like making an embedded macro using the OpenForm command to open my ClientDetails_form form with [Forms]![ClientDetails_form]![ID] or [Forms]![ClientDetails_form]![ID]=[Me].[ID] as a Where Condition (where ID is the client's ID #), but everything I've tried has either resulted in an error or not restricted the report like I want it to.
This is pretty complicated without seeing your actual database, but I did a video on something similar that might help here https://youtu.be/nNUjmH72OfI. You basically set a click event in the 'Event' tab of the Properties window while your 'Detail' button is selected (in form design view). You click on the builder button (button with three dots) and either use the Macro Builder or the Code Builder to type out the VBA. The Macro Builder is the simplest way in this case.
That's pretty vague, I admit. But hopefully the video helps.
The setup
I have a Power Apps Portal with the following pages:
Prequalification page. This has an entity form embedded inside it. The entity form is linked to the custom entity SupplierPrequal. When the user fills in and submits that form, they are redirected to the next page.
Submission List page. This has a List embedded inside it. The list should show each of the logged-in user's form submissions.
Submission Edit page. This has an entity form embedded inside it. The entity form is linked to the same custom entity SupplierPrequal and lets them attach files to a previous submission.
The problem I am facing
On the Submission List page, it shows submissions of users other than the logged in user. Here is a screenshot. You can see that the metadata for fields like [Created By] does not identify the user who submitted the form.
I was able to autopopulate the field [00_lkp_UserSubmittingForm] with the logged in username. Unfortunately this is not a unique identifier, and is also editable by the user.
I see these potential solutions, and would appreciate your advice
Change the metadata so that instead of recording the field [Created By] as "SYSTEM", it will record the logged-in user's unique identifier. Then change the view's filtering conditions, so [Created By] equals the current user.
Change the metadata so that a new field such as [00_lkp_UserSubmittingForm] will be autopopulated with the logged-in user's unique identifier. Then change the view's filtering conditions, so that new field equals the current user.
I suspect that both these approaches will require a lookup of the [External Identity] entity's field [Username]. They will probably involve configuring the entity form's tabs "Entity Reference" and "Entity Form Metadata" in Portal Management.
What I've researched
This link describes a similar problem, although the solution is for a CRM Portal, not a Power Apps Portal.
This link addresses the issue for a Canvas App, not a Portal App
This link apparently got it working, although I am still trying to understand what I need to configure.
If I understand your problem statement you wish to filter out Entity List, in your case Submission List page based on your logged in user.
As you might now, every user in Portals is a Contact record in CRM.
If I see your createdby, modifiedby and owner fields, I believe you have some background logic which runs under System (user) and does the required.
You have 2 way to solve your issue:
Either change your background logic to run under the context of running user. This will createdby, modifiedby and owner as running user and not System.
or you create a lookup field 00_lkp_UserSubmittingForm I say lookup and not plain text field. This lookup field will have relationship with contact. So you can autofill this field (lookup) with contact as user. In this way you get unique value in your 00_lkp_UserSubmittingForm field. Because it has unique guid for each user (in turn a contact)
Now with above any method what you get is current user (unique).
Then you can follow any of the below article to solve your issue.
List item
In Entity List itself, there is one option to add Filter Condition. Please check below:

I'm working with a client who has an order form, and needs to track that each customer selected "I agree to terms and conditions" checkbox at checkout. They'll need to be able to go back and check this data.
The checkout is via a ClickFunnels order form. I added the checkbox via HTML, no problem there. The customers needs to be able to track that each client clicks the agree button, and it needs to be associated with the email or phone number.
Was thinking I may be able to do this with the User ID of the Google Tag Manager? I could assign the input from user email to the User ID in Tag Manager?
Any help would be appreciated.
I am writing a web system on a certain domain with a log-in dialog.
The system lies on an address
http://www.example.com/systemB/
However, there is a different system at address
http://www.example.com/systemA/
that uses a different log-in dialog, with different credentials. (Users who use systemB often use systemA too.)
Most browsers, however, automatically take the credentials from http://www.example.com/systemA/ and auto-fill them in the http://www.example.com/systemB/.
Can I write the website in such a way, that the dialog won't be autofilled from the systemA automatically, but the auto-fill will still be allowed? (For example, write some "auto-fill domain".)
I know I can ues autocomplete="off", but I don't want to turn it off outright.
You can try set empty value to the fields from systemA (value=""). When the user open it, the fields are empty but if he click on them, there will be autofill recommendations.
