BuddyPress multisite front end post creation

Can Gravity Forms be used in a BuddyPress / multisite set up for front end post creation?

We have two scenarios that we'd like to implement:

1. We want a user to be able to create a simple post, which gets posted to the user's blog, and fires a message to the site admin (or other nominated user) to let them know a post has been made. Essentially, this will be the user asking a question, and then corresponding with the admin via the comments on the post.

2. We want to allow the users to submit articles (with file attachments). In this case, we'd want the user id to be captured in their form submission

Thanks in advance

I can get this to work with only allowing the secondary site admin to see the post form by putting the template function checking first if user is logged in and is owner of the site and posting as the author. So we're all good on getting this to post on user sites as a frontend post form but...

How could I auto create a default form for secondary sites that is for superadmin only? That is, use one template form that will be active on the theme upon creating a new blog but not have the site admin be able to access the form options. As it is, from what I can see the user will need to activate the plugin, create a new form, etc. and we don't want the user to access GF's options at all.

I have users blog working off the same theme with the template function in the index.php. So when the user activates their blog, it will show the undefined function error because they haven't gone through activating the GF. And when the plugin is activated, the template could not be located.

How could we do this creatively to auto create a default form template on all new blogs created and have the plugin active upon blog creation. Could we possibly work it in to the Multisite plugin New Blog Defaults as an add-on? Maybe a way to locate the template via an include wp_content_dir. Maybe another option is to auto export the main site forms into the plugin dir where they could then be automatically imported to the secondary sites.

Any other ideas to get this going? If there were a way to manage/create all forms on the main site and network activate them across all sites, that would be key!

perfect thanks! I can try a few things now to "hide" the gf options for blogowners and leave only viewable to superadmin, or just hide them all together...especially if the forms are for auto published posts for loggedin/can-edit users - they wouldn't need to see the entries, or edit screens for gf anyway.
