InfoPath: This feature has been disabled by your administrator

I am unable to connect to SharePoint Online with InfoPath. I keep getting an error message: "This feature has been disabled by your administrator". It is the same result in our test teanant, which should have most features enabled. Nobody in our IT department knows about any policies that should prevent connecting with InfoPath, by I assume that that is what is causing it.

 

Do you have any idea what could be doing this?

 

Thanks

Jakob 

 

  • In the SharePoint InfoPath settings, you'll need to have "Render form templates that are browser-enabled by users" turned on as well.

     

    Another contributing factor may be your site collection settings. In "Site Collection Features," there's an option for "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features" that reads "Features such as InfoPath Forms Services, Visio Services, Access Services, and Excel Services Application, included in the SharePoint Server Enterprise License." You'll want to have this Active if it isn't already.

    If InfoPath still doesn't work for you with those settings configured appropriately, you might be looking at a support ticket to get your situation resolved.

      Hi Juan

       

      If you mean the "Allow users to browser-enable form templates" setting, so, yes, I have. Are there other relevant settings?
