10/17/2022, 6:55 PMThe database I'm pointing Avo has a lot of data, it is a not a very well designed BI db. And I need to ALWAYS filter some data for some users. It is not a full blown authorization (the client does not want to manage this right now), but more of a permanent/unchangeable filter based on the current user (there are a few variations).
Any suggestions?

10/17/2022, 7:00 PMsure, the pro version is non-negotiable, as they use other features

10/17/2022, 7:04 PMthe long story is:
We use another system, which drives a GIGANTIC amount of all sorts of dashboards and other kinds of resources. Avo right now handles just the "admin" part, an easy way to add/remove data.
And this other system has a gigantic authorization schema (really gigantic) and we can't invest time right now, adding this to Ruby/Rails/Avo.
So we want just a simple filter, as adding our authorization system to Pundit will become a humongous task.

10/17/2022, 7:08 PMIf they had to build it from scratch it would take quite a lot of effort, would it not?

10/17/2022, 7:09 PMThis expenctancy for everything to be free and do all the work is really hurting the ecosystem

10/17/2022, 7:28 PMwe are still on a "beta" phase right now, setting up the envs and validating everything.
Last week was the first deploy that the associates could actually use, and now we are trimming the edges, and they will purchase the license.
