Jacob_Porter thats interesting, but doesnt seem to be something that will help my situation.
These are "Teams" that have group forms in them as opposed to group forms in a public group.
I still want ability to make the form read only to people in the Team and restrict them from seeing all the results. And then allowing certain people to edit the form and see all the results. Who knows... maybe the description is about public groups, but they will make some other adjustments also... ?
Thanks

I see,
You have the forms added to the Team as a Channel Tab I assume.
It depends how you added them to the team.
A Team in Teams is recorded as a group in Office Admin and will be able to be selected as the group for a form in Forms.
If the Group the form is added to is the same group that was generated by the Teams team you would be able to link it to the team and have team members with access.
This change by Microsoft only affects public groups and by extension this would include public Teams teams.
If you've added a Tab the channel as a forms - collect responses then they will only be able to fill out the form, but if it's been set as a collaborate you'll likely need to remove and re-add the Tab
Again this will only assist in access management for Public Teams and Groups, and the changes aren't scheduled to take effect until late March.
The Form security is managed by the Group and the share access management, The distribution format can vary from links to page embed and Team Channel Tabs.
I hope this assisted but maybe I've got the wrong idea.
Does this line up with your scenario?
I'm having the same issue. We have an all staff team and are running a consultation with staff. As we wanted to be able to view the results in a live document, we created an excel doc in the files section then created the form from that.
Although we could shut off access to the results document to all staff except the Team owners, we don't have any way to restrict access to the form structure at all. It would be good if we could stop people being able to edit the form in the same group. The form can't be moved out of the group because it's tied to that Team's files.
Does anyone know if Microsoft intends to give more finite permission control to Forms?
JenLavery Microsoft appear to have this planned for rollout in March. See my post that I marked as the resolution, it would resolve my issue and it seems like what you are looking for.
