Hi I just installed umbraco forms into the application am developing. At present the end user will be able to configure and change the settings on the form.
I want to restrict this capability so that they cant accidentally make changes or brake the form but still allow access to the work flows and and entries.
Is this possible?
If so could someone offer some suggestions on how best to implement this.
User permissions is not possible in Umbraco Forms right now as you propebely know from Contour, but it could be of the feature that we should add in one of the next releases of Umbraco Forms.
Hi Dennis, thanks for your reply, I will take a look at the link, am not actually familiar with Contour as I only recently started using Umbraco.
I've given the user editor permissions which removes the Forms tab, but they are still able to see the contact form node.
The problem with this is that they can still access the rich text editor where the macro for the form is located. Is there a way or a known work around where I could stop the user from being able to edit the contents for that particular text editor? There are other text editors on various doc types which they would still need access too?
As I understand your question, you have disabled the Umbraco Forms section of a given user, and you now also want to set permissions on the content node where the form macro is used.
You can add user permissions to the node. If you go to the users section. Then open up the user permissions folder. After this click on the use that you want to limit the access to this node.
I have made a screenshot to make it easier to see what I mean.
In the screenshot above the user Dennis can not edit the node Go further.

Hi Ecick,

Try to see this thread https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/71843-umbraco-forms-or-contour-for-umbraco-v7, then you can add some features that you would love to see in the Umbraco Forms product.

You will also find some video tutorials about user permissions on Umbraco TV http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/content-editor/administrative-content/users/user-permissions/
Hope I have understand your question correctly and it can be a solution for you to solve your problem.
