How can I make it so that users can submit Infopath forms to a form library, but not be able to see the contents of other users' forms that have been submitted?

I know I can change their default view, so they can only see 'My Documents' but I can't stop them just changing the view back to 'All Documents'.

Thanks.

Easiest way to configure this for SharePoint Online is to use SharePoint Designer, create a workflow and configure permissions upon item creation. This article provides a walkthrough.

Here is even a better approach. Create 2 list/libraries, Use workflow to copy from submitted location to secure location and delete original. Therefore you do not get into unique permissions at the item level, which is not a good practice.

  • Interesting idea. If you do this though, do both lists/libraries have to be in sync? IE adding one field, you have to remember to add the field to the other list?

Both lists are kept in sync because you have to create the form as a content type, then tell both libraries to use that content type. I know this is an old question at this point but in case anyone else stumbles across this there's the answer.
