Then you could conditionally set the notification so that it's emailed to the post author only, and let the author's manage their contacts on their own, based on the information they were emailed. They could use their own address book or Excel or whatever works. </p> <p>That way you would not need to give authors the ability to create forms, or view or edit entries. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-for-each-of-my-authors#post-33166 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 23:33:47 +0000 Chris Hajer 33166@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can give authors permission to create forms. I'm not sure you want to, but you can. But the permissions are not so granular that they can only edit their form and their entries. Here are the Gravity Forms permissions you can assign by role:</p> <pre><code>gravityforms_addon_browser gravityforms_create_form gravityforms_delete_entries gravityforms_delete_forms gravityforms_edit_entries gravityforms_edit_entry_notes gravityforms_edit_forms gravityforms_edit_settings gravityforms_export_entries gravityforms_mailchimp gravityforms_mailchimp_uninstall gravityforms_paypal gravityforms_paypal_uninstall gravityforms_twilio gravityforms_twilio_uninstall gravityforms_uninstall gravityforms_user_registration gravityforms_user_registration_uninstall gravityforms_view_entries gravityforms_view_entry_notes gravityforms_view_settings gravityforms_view_updates</code></pre> <p>(Some of those permissions come from Gravity Forms Add-ons.)</p> <p>I don't think the capabilities built in to Gravity Forms are sufficient to do what you want. If you assign all authors the capability to create forms, view entries and edit entries, they would be able to view all entries and edit all entries, not just their own. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-for-each-of-my-authors#post-33154 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 17:36:52 +0000 stan 33154@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm creating a website with MANY authors (100+).<br /> I want each of them to be able to create their own custom contact form on their posts, as well as be able to organize the information users put into their contact forms.<br /> Is this possible with gravity forms? </p>
