Any way for IT Admins to take ownership of all Forms created in an organization?

Hi Victoria,
Updated 06/08/2022Multiple feedbacks for it here
aProvide an option to acess all forms created by Admins · Community (microsoft.com)
Global Admin or Forms admin to manage all forms · Community (microsoft.com)
Ideally, they should merge them to create a bigger demand for it. This ask has been around a long time. Hopefully, it will come around at some point.
Hope that answers your question

- NHarzicNov 02, 2021Iron ContributorJust wondering if there is any update on this? Is there anyone on the Microsoft Forms development team who can give any news on admin management of Microsoft Forms? Thank you.

Hi NHarzic,
You may have found this article already, but here's the information from Microsoft: Admin information - Microsoft Forms Admin | Microsoft Docs.

- Matthew CarterAug 10, 2022Iron ContributorThank you, this is NOT a critique of you, it is just funny to think I have time to manage EACH and EVERY thing that happens, like for me to know that Doe, Jane left and has a Microsoft Forms form that will need to have ownership changed. I don't even know who the ORIGINAL owner is. Maybe it was Sue, Sawyer and they left a year ago and someone else has access, I don't know if they are the owner now or if it is someone else.

Did you find out how Admins can view all forms created by users?
- ootb20229Sep 22, 2022Copper Contributorthe reporting is available in the audit log search, all Forms related actions are logged (creation, usasge, viewing results...) https://compliance.microsoft.com/auditlogsearch?viewid=Async%20Search
- ParadisZSep 27, 2022Copper ContributorHow did you do it?
Everything is grey out for me so I cannot use this even though I am a Admin. - blue_manSep 27, 2022Iron Contributor
ootb20229 I don't think this is what people are asking for as such. I'm not anyway. We need a way to search the actual data in the forms being saved. Obviously, if you save them into an O365 group it should give you this option, but most users won't do this or if you give them training/guidance they will forget. It needs to be as soon as a form is created (whether in an O365 group or not) the data is then searchable within the compliance search tools for O365.
