Infopath 2007 - different access rights for different part of the form - how?

[Hrvoje Vrbanc]

Hello all,

I'm not sure whether to post this question here or in the SharePoint forum
but anyway:

I have an Infopath 2007 form with several sections that are to be digitally
signed. The form is published to a MOSS 2007 site and everything works very
well.
But, is it possible to protect individual sections of the form? What I want
to say is is it possible to restrict access for digital signing for
individual sectors, i.e. only person A can sign first section, person B
second one, etc?

Thank you in advance,
Hrvoje

Yes this is possible.

I use an active directory web service to identify my users and then also
check their group memberships and base what they see or can modify on that.
You could also verify their identity by just hardcoding their username or
name or other means into the form.

Then you can just use conditional formatting to make a section or control
readonly or hidden if the current user is not the intended user.
