Allow only selected users in my organisation to fill out a Form?
New Forms user here. I don't think this possible but wanted to ask before submitting an idea. Is it possible to restrict the filling out of a Form to only certain, selected people within our organ...
- A better option here would be to utilize powerapps to build your form, and or utilize SharePoint list form. You can manage permissions to individuals that way with either option and there is even a hybrid method, but if forms is good enough then a basic SharePoint list, with custom permissions would work. You could take it furthur and turn on list item settings to view only their own items in advanced list setitngs so that only the site/list owner (designer) can see the submissions, but the users will only see their own.
ChrisHoardMVP Thank you. I feared this would be the answer. I've voted for this and added my voice.
If the Forms or O365 devs are reading this:
/rant
Forms, along with Streams, along with many other O365 apps are just not ready. They feel rushed, unfinished, not integrated and have basic features missing. I'm so far disappointed by our journey into O365 and Forms is another frustrating and lacking experience.
Development progress is slow. The most requested features are being ingnored or are far too slow to in being delivered.
