IP newbie question:
I am trying to use IP as a platform for surveys in our enterprise. My
question is that is there any reasonable way to submit survey results in
sharepoint site form library so that users cannot see other people's
responses?

Can't find any reasonable mechanism to that, removing views is not a good
solution because people can always open the folder as a network place and
then all the files are visible again.

Giving them only write permission wont let them open the form... etc.

Seems quite weird that there is no such easy mechanism...

Hi, erkki,

SharePoint 2003 uses security on FormLibrary level, so you give user
permissions on whole library. If you try to create a role, and give users
only write permissions , you will notice that when you click Add Item in List
Permissions, automatically the view items permissions is checked, so that
goes out. The only way is to make one library for each user, but off course
if you have few users. If you have many users, maybe the solution is each
user to save the form in own personal site, and overload the security using
COM+ application in the back to save the copy in the site FormLibrary in
order to have all surveys in one Library. But in these solution you will have
to use Web Service and COM+ for overloading a security principal.

Any way it is not so simple to make you’re solution strait-forward.
