 * Hi,
 * I’ve read through your description and some of the documentation on your main
   site, but I can’t find the answer…
 * Can this plugin do multiple databases or just one?
 * For example, if I wanted a list of students and a separate list of staff, with
   both being visible on the website on different pages, can I do that with this
   plugin?
 * Also, can someone edit multiple entries from the front end? As in can I give 
   someone access to edit things for me without giving full access to the backend
   of the site?
 * Thanks,

 * The plugin is a single database, but it’s flexible enough to cover situations
   where you have two or more different kinds of things represented in it. Take 
   a look at this article for a description of a way to do that:
 * [“Multiple Databases” with Participants Database](https://xnau.com/multiple-databases-with-participants-database/)
 * It is possible to set up a list of records on the frontend that have links to
   editable records. You will have to manage the access control yourself.
