Yes. &nbsp;You need to be able to identify your users.<br />
<br />
The best method is to have two views that look the same but one has the section read-only.<br />
<br />
You can either use expression boxes or use validation to make the fields read-only.

Hi,<br />
If i refer to my example, this means that i would have to create 3 different views and create validations rules or expressions for each read only fields, in each view. Can you please tell me which is the best way to do it (expression or validation) and how? <br />
Thank you very much!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Is it possible in an InfoPath form to have sections that are read only for certain users? A workflow would be attached to the form and it would have to be filled by different users. <br />
<br />
For example, let's say we have 3 sections and 3 groups. Group 1 fill the 1st section, the workflow begins, then Group 2 can see the section 1 but can't edit it. He can only edit the section 2.<br />
<br />
Thank you!

InfoPath form with read only sections for some user groups

Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing, distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. The product features a WYSIWYG form designer in which the various controls (e.g. textbox, radio button, checkbox) are bound to data, represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and data fields. All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format. Secondary data sources can be built into the form or they can be accessed through an external data connection to SharePoint or a Web service.
