Hi guys! Is it possible to overwrite the permission of the PrivateMembersData from read only to read and write? I want to add a user specific information (A number, representing the specific user’s account value) in the user’s private page so that every user can see their own account balance in their private page. I was thinking to link a text element to a specific field of the PrivateMembersData so that I can change it in the table easily. However, I cannot add in more fields nor change the content of the existing fields. What should I do?

Like this, I need a number here

By the way, I really think WIX should add in this feature, so that website owners can easily setup user specific pages(Different contents for different user).

Is there anyway to work around to solve this issue?

You can create another collection in parallel to use for your own data. This is the most common way of handling this.

You can create a “parallel” collection like this:

  • Create a collection with whatever name you want.

  • Make sure you have one field for the memberId

  • Add the fields you need.

Use memberId to “link” between the PrivateMembersData collection and your new collection.
