I have two views in my Infopath form. Based on a field I want to restrict the
users of the form to a view. How can I achieve this?

Set Task Pane to the Views view.
Switch to the view you want to hide.
Select View Properties.
In the General tab, unselect "Show on the View menu..."

Next, set up Roles for an Admin (you) and Users
Add a Button to the form and set Conditional Formatting so that if Role not
= Admin, Hide this control
Also add a Rule to the button to switch views to the other view.

Now, if the user is an admin, they will see the button that will allow them
to switch to the other view.
