Is there a way to find out who owns a Form?

We have a URL to a Microsoft Form but we aren't sure who created it. Since the Form still works the form must belong to a group or an individual that is still with the company. Is there a way to find...

Hi Jeffrey Thorpe

I agree with CYappert that you can't find the owner with just the URL at this time.

As a long shot, you could try (and maybe have others try) the following URL and put the Form ID (e.g. ID will look something like rOkYLaMXK...) at the back of this link to see if you (or someone else) can edit the form.

https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPage.aspx?origin=shell#FormId=

If someone hits the jackpot, get them to share the form with the appropriate people to ensure you can edit the form OR use Share as a template to allow for the duplication of the form so that you/someone else can have your own copy.

Best wishes

    I don't know if it was closed deliberately or as part of the response option updates, or if it's something unique to my org's cloud instance, but the backdoor URL from Damien_Rosario doesn't work for me.
