This is a key feature why people use Airtable. They allow Base’s owner to restrict copy in order to protect information.

If you can also restrict by password or email domain, they will be able to share to clients without scare of information leak (better for consultants)

Any effort to prevent people from copying information from a browser page will be very weak. It doesn’t take much technical prowess to learn how to copy information from any web page using the Dev Tools.

Indeed. I think it is unlikely that Fibery will implement controls that are not robust and can be easily bypassed.
