Much obliged. I will look to see if this can be extended to provide logical groups of users for the same resource.

Yes, it can! Check out the "Secure download portal" example app at https://anvil.works/learn#examples - it's got group-based access control.

(Nothing magic - it's just a database. Even user records are just table rows, so you can link or categorise them however you like!)
