I just added a new user as Portal Editor in a portal interface. Let’s call them {USERNAME}

After they used the portal, Airtable upgraded their seat to Editor.

(I am the only admin, and I know this upgrade was not done by me, so it was done by Airtable) 

The Admin panel lists the upgrade event as, “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}"

Now, I know that {USERNAME} didn’t actually edit the interface, because they don’t have base access. And I know that portal editors are *supposed* to be able to change fields via the interface.

So what the heck does the upgrade event “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}" mean? I can’t find this documented anywhere.

Thanks for any insight,

Natalka

Re: your first point, it’s weird you mention that since something similar was posted only a few days ago.
