Private member-only entries in Wix Studio – is this possible?

I am looking for a solution for a members area in Wix Studio.
Members should be able to create personal entries on the site, and these entries should only be visible to the respective member.

I can’t link a custom CMS collection to the logged-in member in Wix Studio.
There is no way to reference the current member or filter entries by the logged-in user without using Velo.

Wix Studio

Site link
If this is happening on a site, include a live or test site link

What I’m trying to do
I want each logged-in member to be able to create personal entries and only see their own entries inside the members area.

What I’ve tried so far
I added the Members Area, enabled member-only pages, created a custom CMS collection, and tried to set permissions and filters to show only the logged-in member’s data, but I can’t link entries to members in Wix Studio.

Extra context
Wix documentation and Helpmate suggest this is possible, but I can’t find a no-code way to reference or filter by the current member in Wix Studio.

That’s not true. If your CMS collection settings are set to collect & display “User generated content” and have a Member’s Area, you will see a dataset filter called Owner is logged in user. Setting that filter will only allow the specific user to see the content that only they added.

Surprising how Wix Helpmate missed this article which has an in-depth no-code tutorial to set this up:
