SharePoint new list form permissions. Who can see it?
Well, it's taken several months, but I've finally figured out what's going wrong here. I created another form and my colleague shared it across certain members of the oraganisation and they couldn't access it.
When you create a list it inherits site permissions. As soon as you create a list form it changes the permissions and creates Unique permissions so that anyone in the organisation can access the list to complete the form, but they can't see the content of the list.
I didn't realise this and I altered the permissions after creating the form. I remember thinking, why does this form have Unique permissions and made it inherit permissions again, which broke the permissions to the form.
