Still, I think it’s important to know that strictly relying on filtering on unique IDs stored in plain in the DB is really not a robust way of securing data. But I understand that not all data is sensitive, which leaves space for that kind of solution.

The most important point is that you should wait for backend filters to be available in weweb for Airtable collections if you want to gate content coming from Airtable based on authentication. See those for a bit more on the subject:

- [Front-end VS back-end filters](https://docs.weweb.io/binding-filtering/creating-a-collection.html#frontend-vs-backend-filters) (weweb docs)
- [Community discussion](https://community.weweb.io/t/4-steps-to-build-secure-web-apps-with-no-code-tools/1788) about [Joyce’s Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/joycekettering/status/1620781713420075008?s=20) I mentioned earlier

If you’re working with sensitive data, you really want to have authentication built-in the database directly, or the database to have a security model that allows for external security providers. Xano and Supabase both have authentication built in and are very well integrated in weweb.
