Section Access on Server

A build of mine is connected to a DB with multiple tables for each country. 

 

I'm trying to build something which can be used by all of them, but limited to their own country.

 

Should I:

 

Option A: Utilize the collections for each country and load the same workflow multiple times and assign users to those particular collections?

 

OR

 

Option B: Is there a way where I can have 1 collection where all users can go in, and section access the data (row-level etc.) to their specific country? Is there a way to do this?

 

 

Thanks all!

Hey @caltang ,

 

One idea is to get the userID using a text box and merge it with the mongoDB user collection data to retrieve the user's country and go from there.
