Hide source tables from some people without breaking shared trackers

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 13, 2026.

A shared tracker needs to stay useful after its source data becomes selectively visible.

Administrators need tighter source-table control, while collaborators need the dependent views that run daily work.

Who you’d be doing this for

“Legal asked why half the tracker needs to see the source table, and I don’t have a clean answer.”

Lorena Machado · Document Administrator

Manages access and governance for an enterprise workspace with shared operational trackers.

What is at stake

Administrators are splitting sensitive trackers into separate docs because current roles expose source tables too broadly. You must weigh tighter visibility against dependable dependent views for the people who rely on them.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • granular visibility vs. coherent shared trackers
  • authorization certainty vs. view performance
  • pilot speed vs. durable query boundaries
  • admin clarity vs. dependency complexity

Why Superhuman

Superhuman Docs tables turn operational trackers into applications, so source-table access must remain dependable as enterprise governance becomes more granular.
