Perhaps you are setting up the user groups incorrectly? Try performing different actions with your rule and see if that works. Take a look at this article that may help: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/about-specifying-user-roles-for-forms-HP001106605.aspx

Not able to use user roles to hide a sections

Doreen — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:00:27 GMT

Using IP 2007.

I would like to hide certain sections based on users role. I created a role, "MyRole" with 3 users in it (Tools>User Roles>Add). Then in the section(s) I want to hide, I created this condition:

If, "current user's role" is not equal to "MyRole"

then, Hide section

it doesn't work. Am I using roles wrong? Are they only to be used to control opening a particular view? I am not using browser enabled forms.
