Power Apps, user can only see and edit own records within app

I am trying to edit my app in a way such that the user can only see and edit their own records. I am trying to do this within the app itself and not the list.

As I list I am aware I can restrict permissions. But I am trying to do this in the app.

I need to restrict but user().Email as I use this in a "Created by" field.

How can I restrict my "BrowseScreen" by user id?

Thanks.

You can create a browser navigation screen to restrict screen viewing: If(User().Email="[email protected]" Or "[email protected]",TabNavigation,Filter(TabNavigation,ID=1 Or ID=2 Or ID=3))

You would need to create a collection for the navigation. Then have it appear in a gallery using the functions above. Here is how to create a collection for this: ClearCollect(TabNavigation,{ID:1,Tab:"Product Name"},{ID:2,Tab:"Description"},{ID:3,Tab:"Filters"},{ID:4,Tab:"Pricing"})

You can also filter the database you're using by the created by column.

And if you need a more advanced auto manged one. You can create a user list and assign permissions like so.

UserName IsAdmin IsSalesManager
John true true
Tate false true
Dummy false false

Then you can set your navigation to only show the nav options based on user permission.
