Hi,

Please help an InfoPath Newbie with form permissions.  It is possible
to manage an InfoPath 2003 Form based on Active Directory groups?  In
other words, a user's AD account would need to be a member of group
"X" to access a .xsn form.  If yes, how?

I know I could use SharePoint to host this form and manage access to
it.  However, management does not want it on SharePoint because they
do not want users requesting access to this form when they are denied
but then presented with the SharePoint request access form.  So, I
think the form should be placed on our company's Intranet server.

I think using the company's Intranet site (Win2003 Server Standard
with IIS 6.0 with integrated authentication enabled) would be an
alternative solution.  I would prefer to not use NTFS permissions to
manage access to this file/form because we are going to retire that
server this summer and that becomes more ACLs to manage.  I'd prefer
the form manages who access it.  That way it could be placed on any
server.

Could I use the Roles functionality or something in the InfoPath
itself to limit access to the .xsn file?  I'm open to all ideas.
Please help.  (FYI...  I'm also just learning Jscript too.)

Thanks,
-Joe
