Group Owned Forms - Restricting Access
Hello, all.
I have a group owned form. Lets call this "Training Log Form". The group lets call it "R&D". This is a well established MS Group with members, and owners. So each member can view this form, its outputs in excel are already linked to the SharePoint site that we use daily. This is all great, only one issue. Anyone that is a member of this group can edit the main contents of this form (questions, sections, answers, title, etc.). We have a collection of different document controlled forms (typically in excel format, setup as templates) and they are document controlled through our SharePoint system.
How can I restrict access of who is able to edit these forms internal to this "R&D" Group?
Any help would be great, thanks!

You cannot. Groups are shared resources, every member has equal access to anything in the group. This behavior was even more problematic back in the day when everyone in the company was able to make changes to objects stored in Public groups...
If you need to restrict control to editing the form, you need to either move it to a different location, or adjust the member list of the group.
Understood. Thank you so much, and thanks for the quick reply!
