Can I Protect Files

Yes — Tadabase gives you several ways to protect uploaded files so that only the right users can access them.

• Signed URLs (private files) — files can be marked private, in which case they're served through short-lived signed URLs that can't be shared or accessed without authentication.
• Role-based access — combine file privacy with your app's user roles and record-level rules so that only logged-in users with the right role can view or download specific files.
• Per-field configuration — you can decide on a per-field basis whether files should be public or private, depending on the sensitivity of the content.

For sensitive content (contracts, IDs, internal documents), we strongly recommend marking the field as private and pairing it with proper user roles to keep files secured end-to-end.
