User form access

I have several users in different districts that need to fill a form, I
want to break the form into the districts. Is there any way to share the
forms with the users when they try to download the forms? So user A sees
only Forms A.... It should be obvious when you try to download the forms
though.

Thank you for your help with this

To minimize the complexity of configuring and managing ODK Aggregate, we
decided to eliminate per-user restrictions to specific forms, both for
accessing the blank forms and for submitting the filled-in forms.

Whenever this is a requirement, you can always set up separate ODK
Aggregate instances, one for each district, and have just that district's
form on that district's server, and have phones specific to each district
configured for their respective servers.

Alternatively, you can just have all forms hosted on a single ODK
Aggregate. The users will see all forms, but would be trained to download
and use only the form(s) for their district.

By designing the form to contain automatically-collected information (
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/#preload_params ) that
identifies the user (username or email) and/or device (uri:deviceid) used
for data collection, you can then run audits on the collected data to
identify submissions from users or devices that are in the wrong
districts. This makes it easier for a device or data collector to work
temporarily in a different district (e.g., replacing a sick or absent
worker).
