Admins may want to restrict the accessibility of smartFORM instances. Adding advanced smartFORM permissions allows admins to restrict who can view, create, edit, share, or delete smartFORM instances for individual templates. Creating default permissions allows those settings to be set once and reused going forward.
Required Permissions: Create forms templates and Manage all form templates
Where to Start
- Go to smartFORMS.
- Select Form Templates.
- Select the 3 dot menu.
- Select Update Default Permissions.
When a user chooses to add Advanced smartFORM Permissions to a template (without individual template permissions already applied), any default settings will automatically appear. A user can add or remove any users, user groups, and permissions. If Advanced smartFORM Permissions have already been added to an individual template, they will not be overwritten and the default permissions will not automatically apply.
Add Restrictions for Individual Users
- By default, the owner of the article will have all permissions toggled on.
- Select Add User to give access to other users.
Any user who is not added as a restricted user will not be able to access any smartFORM instance attached to the template.
- Select a School Year.
- Filter users by Name, School, or Tag.
- Enter into the Search Bar to further filter the user list.
- Use the checkbox to select user(s).
- Choose Select to save.
- Toggle on individual permissions for the added User(s).
- Use the trashcan to delete any User(s).
Add Restrictions for User Groups
- Select Add to give access to other user groups.
Site Administrators have special permissions that allow them to view, edit, create, share, and delete.
Any users not within a restricted user group will not be able to access any smartFORM instance attached to the template.
- Checkbox any user group(s).
- Select Add.
- Toggle on individual permissions for the added user group(s).
- Use the trashcan to delete any user groups(s).
Enable Restrictions
After all users, user groups, and their restrictions have been added, use the toggle to enable the restrictions. This will automatically restrict the users and groups added and remove access from any user or group not given advanced permissions.
