I made a database with the following settings:

Who can read content from this collection:
Author and member

Who can create content for this collection?
Member of site

Who can update content from this collection?
Author and member

Who can delete content from this collection?
Admin

I created a dataset as read & write, because I want people to be able to write to it, update it’s content, and display it once it’s submitted.

However people cannot fill the forms unless I set it to write only. I have tried many combinations and it doesn’t seem to work. I tried selecting all the options as “anyone” but no success.

If I set it to write-only, submit some data, then read & write works. Anyone can help me?

A dataset is only a method for connecting to a database collection. For form submission, you want it to be write-only. You can use another read-only or read/write dataset to allow the user to access a collection record in order to edit and save.
