InfoPath Dev

We're developing a change management form, and there's a section in it that should only be filled out by certain people.

Is there any way to limit a section in this way?

Hi, you can set role on a form and you can set conditionnal formatting on your control to allow just certain person or group to modify these control.

Unfortunatly, you can't set a section to Read Only you can just hide it. You have to set each control to be editable for certain person.

Actually, that would work just fine - - how can this be accomplished?

(I right clicked on a textbox and couldn't see anything that was clear on doing this)

Wich version of InfoPath do you use ?

2010

Ok first of all your form have to be editable by rich client you can configure that on "form option", "compatibility". After that go on "Data" and select "User Roles" here you can configure a default group that have a standard access and an admin group wich have more access. you have to set your AD group like :

DOMAIN\group Name. You can check if your AD group is correctly configure if you preview your form and check on the right bottom of your window it will show you your current "role". Another Important thing to know is roles use the windows login not the SharePoint One. If you want to check another account you have to log off  and the login with your other account or use another computer or VM.

When you are sure that your roles work properly on each control, you select manage rule and you set some condition like if User's current roles is not your admin roles then disable this control.

Hope it's help.
