InfoPath Dev

Hi everyone

I have to build a form with informations about new products and want to publish it on our sharepoint in "browsermode".

 This form will be filled by 3 different user from different departments.

Every user should only see some general information and his added information but not the values filled by other users. 

Is it possible to publish one form with user depending permissions on the fields?

I thought about several sharepoint libarys (which sounds too complex to me) or an SQL Database (but my knownledge about SQL is very very basic.)

Or is it possible to secure the views of the form depending on the user ?

Or is there any completely different approach do solve my problem ?

THX a lot

Hello, and welcome!

In InfoPath you can use User Roles to set some permissions, but these don't work for Browser Forms. However, the InfoPath Team Blog has published this workaround which may help you.

 Hello Hilary,

thank you for your reply.

I thought about views depending on roles but microsoft say that user roles should not be used to secure confidential information because its possible to edit the xsn file in an notepad or something else.

Do you have any other idea ?

thx
