How do I add log-in security to a Ninox Database?

I'm using the desktop Mac version. Manual has a section on users and permissions but is starts by referencing the "main menu". Which/where is this?  I can't find a menu with an invite function so I'm stumped from step 1.

    Users and permissions requires Ninox Cloud. You could create a trial account if you want to try it out.

    Actually the desktop version suits my current needs well except for needing to set a log-in. I don't need users/permissions, just a password to open the file. How can do that?

    We already have added this feature in our list of requested features. We hope to release it in one of our upcoming versions. Thank you for your patience.

    This would be required since anybody who opens the mac can access the ninox database. At least a login for an admin user would help. ALso is there an upcoming feature list available

    Wouldn’t each user on the Mac have thier own,  separate  DBs?

     

    If the DB is stored on iCloud, each user will need access to that iCloud account.

     

    i would like the password for the iPad version where there isnt really multiple users. Sometimes i let my kids use my ipad. 

     

    you could use the new trigger on open in 2.5.0 to create something password like.

    Here is an idea for a poor mans version of a PIN code protection for a DB. it is used in "Trigger after open".

    let passcode := "1234";
    let enteredCode := "";
    while passcode != enteredCode do 
    let response := dialog("Enter Passcode", enteredCode, ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"]);
    if response = 10 then
    enteredCode := ""
    else
    enteredCode := enteredCode + response
    end
    end
