View Entries Permissions

  1. I know that you can enable certian roles to view entries..but it would be cool if you could set up roles to only see entries from certian forms.

    Your Forms

    Form 1
    Form 2
    Form 3

    User Group Access (what they can see)

    Administrator: Form 1, Form 2, Form 3.
    Editor : Form 2,
    Subscriber: Form 3

  2. It's been requested in the past and we will consider this a +1 for the feature. Thanks for the suggestion.

  3. Maybe you know this, but you could do this fore all forms by adding the following code (view, edit, delete and export entries for editors) to your theme'sfunctions.php:

    function add_grav_forms_permissions(){
    	$role = get_role('editor');
    	$role->add_cap('gravityforms_view_entries');
    	$role->add_cap('gravityforms_delete_entries');
    	$role->add_cap('gravityforms_view_entry_notes');
    	$role->add_cap('gravityforms_export_entries');
    }
    add_action('admin_init','add_grav_forms_permissions');

  4. @magi182, I don't think that addresses form-specific permissions, which is what @steffel is looking for and has been requested in the past. The ability to restrict a role to that individuals own forms and entries only.

    Hi Steffel you said "I know that you can enable certian roles to view entries..but"

    Actually I'm looking around trying to figure that out. How do I let a subscriber view the list of entries?

  6. You need a plugin like the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock, to give your subscribers permission to view entries.

    After you install the plugin, you need to configure the Subscriber role to give it permission to view entries. Here is a screenshot of Gravity Forms permissions:

    You would give Subscribers the "gravityforms_view_entries" capability.
