Use the Member Sites screen to see every member site in your company, a member’s own sites included. Open a site to see its details and what it uses of a viewer’s data. If the site keeps a database, you can also read the rows its members wrote and delete the ones that shouldn’t be there.

​
Where to find it

In the admin sidebar, under Website, select Member Sites.
To open this screen, your role needs View on Application Themes. To read a site’s data, it also needs View on Member Site Data. To delete rows, it needs Delete on Member Site Data. See Roles. Fluid turns member sites on for your company. If you don’t see Member Sites, contact support.

​
The site list

The list shows every site in your company, company-owned and member-owned.
  • The All, Draft, Published and Taken down tabs filter the list by status.
  • The Owner filter narrows it to Company or Member sites.
  • The box labelled Filter this page… narrows the page you’re on by what you type.
The list has these columns: Name, Handle, Owner, Status, Visibility and Date Modified. Click a row to open the site.

​
A site’s page

A site’s page shows its Details, an Access card that lists what the site uses of a viewer’s data, who the site is shared with, and, when the site keeps a database, a Data card.

​
Review a site’s data

A member site can keep its own data, such as RSVPs or guestbook entries. The Data card shows it. You see every row, whoever wrote it, whatever the site’s rules say about who may read it.
The Data card appears only when your role has View on Member Site Data and the site has an available database. Without the permission, or when the site has no available database, the page has no Data card. See If you don’t see the Data card.
To read a site’s data:
1

Open the site

On Member Sites, click the site’s row.
2

Choose a table

In the Data card, click a table’s name. The first table is chosen when the card opens.
3

Read the rows

The table lists the newest rows first, in groups of 25. Each row shows the table’s columns, then the id, created_by, created_at and updated_at columns every table has. created_by is the id of the person who wrote the row. An empty value shows as a dash.
4

Move between pages

When a table has more than 25 rows, Previous and Next appear under it, with the range you’re on, such as 26 to 50 of 61.
A long value is cut short in the table. Hold your pointer over it to see the whole value. A value that holds nested data is shown as JSON. The card can also say This site’s database has no tables. or This table has no rows. If it says Could not load the data, click Try again.

​
Delete a row

Delete a row to remove something a member wrote, such as a spam entry. You can only delete here. You can’t add a row or change one.
A deleted row can’t be restored. Your name is recorded with the deletion.
1

Find the row

Choose the table, then use Next and Previous to find the row.
2

Click Delete

Click Delete at the end of the row. You see this button only if your role has Delete on Member Site Data.
3

Confirm

In Delete this row?, click Delete row. Click Cancel to keep it.
A message, Row deleted, confirms it. If it fails, you see Failed to delete the row. Try again, or check that your role still has Delete on Member Site Data.

​
Give a role access to a site’s data

Reading and deleting rows are separate permissions, because the rows are what members wrote. Having access to Member Sites or to themes is not enough.
  1. In the admin, click the Settings gear and, under Company, select Roles.
  2. Open the role and type Member Site Data in Search permissions….
  3. Turn on View to let the role read rows. Turn on Delete to let it delete them.
  4. Click Save.
A role also needs View on Application Themes to open the Member Sites screen. See Roles for how roles work.

​
If you don’t see the Data card

Email Fluid support at help@fluid.app. The Getting help page lists what to include in your request.

​
Download everything

The screen doesn’t download a site’s data. To save every table and row of a site as one file, use the API. See Download the data for the file and Download a site’s database for the request. It needs a signed-in admin with View on Member Site Data. A company API token on its own can’t use it.
  • Roles: set what each role can see and do.
  • The member site database: how a developer declares tables and the rules that decide who writes to them.
  • Website: the other website screens.
