Is there any way to disable or remove "remove digital signature" link to
prevent users from deleting other users' digital signatures for web based
infopath forms?

Thanks

You need to identify the users and then you can hide the signature or prevent
deletion if the users do not match.

Use a web service to access Active Directory and identify each form user.

I have a web enabled form and I can identify the users who should have the
ability to sign. Now, how do I prevent others from being able to sign/remove
signatures. When a form is web enabled, you can only make 'sections' allow
digital signature and there does not seem to be a way to make a section
'disabled'.

-Thanks.

I have not worked with a web form which has digital signatures but here are
some ideas.

You may want a couple different views. Then by the user switch to the
appropriate view. Have a read only or viewable section and a section which
cna be signed which have the same contents.

Just an idea.

I don't know how to make a section 'read only'. I dont think you can.

I have hidden the field if you are not supposed to sign it. However, this
is not my optimal solution - I would rather make it read-only so that a user
can see signatures and see that for needs signatures but they just cant do
anything with it.

In 2007 you can make a view read only but I am not sure what this does in the
browser.

Another option if you want to provide a view only is have submit conditional
where submit is disabled for certain users.
