- App can only write VIEWER data, but can access OWNER data - Exposing UI for editing app data only to OWNER, then using functions storing VIEWER data (because you know it's the owner who is the viewer) is a successful approach - All app has to do then is always pull OWNER data to display. lovely. thanks as always. -Christopher On Feb 13, 1:12 pm, "Arne Roomann-Kurrik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > That's correct - we actually expect most sophisticated applications to > work chiefly with retrieving OWNER and OWNER_FRIENDS data in order to allow > user to present applications customized to their own profile.
