InfoPath 2007 item/field security

[Leung]

Hi,

Can InfoPath 2007 form handle field-level security? For example, a person
with Manager AD role can open the form and edit all the fields in the form
while a person WITHOUT manager AD role can only open the form and edit one
but NOT all the fields in the form?

Thanks,

You can define roles in your form and then use these roles in conditional
formatting on fields to disable the fields or make them read-only. Roles are
not supported in browser-forms, but there is a workaround (see
