Tell us what you are trying to do? limit this view results to 3 grandparents (client field)

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? hidden link

I was hoping for an 'if grandparent = client A or client B or client C '

but even better would be to limit the results of the view according to Access for the logged in user. is it possible to limit post types of a specific name (client A or client B or client C) in access post group?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - If you navigate to:
=> Toolset => Access Control => Post Groups => Click on "Modify Group"
=> A popup will appear as per this screenshot: hidden link
=> Where you will be able to add a specific post from specific post type - Do you need this?

how would this work to limit what the logged in user sees? here's the structure:

Client > Project (one to many)
Project > Task (one to many)

View:
table with columns Client | Project | Task

I want the logged in user to only see data associated with a specific Client.

any way to do this?

Well - this is still not clear to me.

What content you want to show to loggedin user? When you say specific client - do you mean that you want to display the information to loggedin user of your choice (specific client) or it should display all client information?

I mean based on what relation of loggedin user you want to show/hide the content to the loggedin user?

Basically - this is the Doc that will help you to understand how you can display the content of grandparents:

It would be of my choice.
Example:

ClientAData (grandparent)
ClientBData (grandparent)

LoggedInWPUserA
LoggedInWPUserB

i need a way to associate the user to the client, and a way to only allow the user to see the client that's associated with them. and I need to be able to associate more than one client per user.

Can you check the following Doc - the idea here is you should use the post author field to connect to user - does that helps?:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-create-custom-searches-and-relationships-for-users/

Where - you should set a user as post author for your client's posts. Please check the above Doc and let me know if that helps you to fulfill what you looking for.
