Managing Permissions for Your Assignees

January 4, 2025

Assigning forms to your team helps boost efficiency. It allows your team to handle tasks like collecting and managing submission data on your behalf. For more details, see Adding Assignees to Your Form.

However, in some cases, you might want to adjust your team’s permissions based on their role or responsibilities within your company. As the form owner, you can customize permissions for different assignees.

You can select the following available permissions for your assignees:

  • Submit Only — This allows your assignees to view your form and collect submissions for you.
  • Submit & View Later — In addition to submitting your form, this lets your assignees view their submissions later.
  • Submit & Edit Later — Along with submitting your form and viewing their submissions, this also permits your assignees to edit their submissions later.

Setting Default Permissions for New Assignees

By default, your form allows new assignees to submit the form and edit their submissions. Follow these steps to change the initial permission granted to new assignees:

  1. In Form Builder, click on Publish.
  2. Next, click on Assign Form in the menu on the left side of the page.
  3. Then, click on Settings to the right of the Assign With Link section.

Now, every time you assign your form, new assignees will be granted the default permission set for them.

Updating Permissions for Individual Assignees

You can also adjust the permission set for the existing assignees of your form. Follow these steps to assign a different permission to each assignee on your form:

  1. In Form Builder, click on the Assigned To button while in the Assign Form section of the Publish tab.

The updates you make in the Form Builder are saved automatically, so changes to the permissions set for your assignees are applied immediately.
