I have no programming background - I volunteer for a school. We have a database (can be Access or Excel - doesn't matter) that lists students service hours and is a dynamic database. Currently, students can go to our website and enter their Unique Student ID number and Last Name at which time ONLY their records are visible to them. When the student pulls them up, various columns and rows are automatically totaled and displayed. This has been done via GoDaddy's EasyDatabase. GoDaddy just announced they are discontinuing Easy Database. Their suggested replacement is incredibly expensive and has far more functionality than we would ever need. Can all of this just be done via the Cloud/Workspaces? In my research, I understand how we can set permissions to a file - but I do not see/understand how each of a few hundred students can be restricted to view ONLY THEIR records from an entire database. I have spent hours trying to figure this out, and while I am generally able to plod my way through things - I am at a loss. Any articles I've found that I think may apply, are either a few years old, or immediately dive into such technical language that it is useless. Thank you for ANY help you can offer.
