Hi everyone,

I have a couple of questions regarding security of Infopath forms.  Can
we change the view of an InfoPath form based on a security group in AD
or SharePoint?  What my client would like to do is

"For example if an InfoPath form has an identifier that a user chooses
when they first fill it out; such as Region F.  If we then have a
security group on the site called "Region F" we would allow only
the users of that group edit access to that form."

Any suggestions on how we would go about getting started on this would
be greatly appreciated.  We are trying to use WSS sites form libraries
to host these Infopath forms.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Have you tried using the User Roles feature? This should give you what you want if you are going with AD security. You can base the user role off of your AD, and switch views based on the user role.
