Form Access Control

Hi?
Is it possible to restrict acess to a form on the server or device, so that
specific users can use a form while other users cannot.

Scenario 1: When user tries to "Get Blank Form" from the server, the server
asks for a password.

Scenarion 2: When user tries to "Fill Blank Form", on a device, form asks
for a password.

I am anticipating a scenario where several forms are on a single server,
but each form is only relevant to particular individuals in different
geographic locations.

Thank you advance.

Hi Louis,

You can't do this without writing a fair bit of code in ODK Aggregate. If
you want separation, your best bet is to use separate installs of
Aggregate.

Another option is to make all forms available, but for Location A's forms,
make the first question a password that only Location A people know. Then
do the same for Location B, C, etc. Then make the rest of the survey
relevant only if the password is correct.

With this approach, users can download the form, but can't really fill it
unless they know the password. If you then put the Location name in the
form or you download the forms to the devices for users and then disable
getting new forms, that should also help.

Good luck,

Yaw
