Proper way of controlling/steering Microsoft Forms in a company
BennyS27 "Is there a way to disable the "record names" options tenant-wide and also in such way, that the user cannot just re-enable it again?" there is no way for a user to re-enable record names unless they have the collaborate link. An ordinary user who submits a response will never have the ability to do that. What YOU can do as an owner/collaborator on the form is NOT the same as what a user can do.
"What is happening to forms if an employee leaves a company?". Best practice is that a form must always have at least one other person with the collaborate link. Either that or the form is moved to a team in Teams, so that if the original owner leaves then the form can still be edited & used.
As far as I recall there is no admin overview of all Forms in a tenant, but you can vote for it at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/5e4b5c9b-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab5c3

- Indeed, the user can't, but but every "forms creator" can re-enable it. So the admin setting is really only setting the "default" value and does not forbid the "record names" function, which we would like to disable tenant-wide. So if somebody in a department creates a form, he can just enable it without the admin team having knowledge of it because of missing administration capabilities.
- That is indeed a good best practice - if it's used. A proper admin portal would be a necessity to ensure platform health.
I voted for both. Thanks for bringing that up. Still I am really sad that Microsoft is rolling out a product without a proper administration. Could it be that they dont spend any more effort on it because it will be integrated in Power Apps (maybe) in the future anyway?
