Front-end form builder?

Is this possible with formidable?
  • The site has 3 user groups who can log in. Each group has different permissions. 
  • Group A can only fill out forms. The data can be accessed by Group B and Group C. 
  • Group B and Group C can create their own forms for Group A to fill out using a front-end form-building interface (not just the Wordpress ACP)
  • Group B can only access data from the forms they create. 
  • Group C can access data from all the forms that any Group B user creates. They can also create their own forms for Group A to fill out. 
If it helps for imagining this: Imagine that this is a job application site. Group A is job seekers. Group B is companies who want to create their own custom job application forms. Group C is the main site owners with access to all the data, but it's still a front-end user experience. (There would also be a site admin.)  Additionally:
  • The display of data will have a number of filters. 
  • The data can be exported as pdf and csv. 
  • There is an option to select certain data items and change a status. For example, by default the item has a status of "open" and the user can select an item (or all filtered items) to mark its status as "closed". 
Thank you! We are open to paying for help if this is only possible with some customization.

Formidable can do everything except front end form building. You must build forms in the form builder in the WordPress admin. I'm not aware of any commercial form builder that allows forms to built from the front end. I cn think of bespoke ways to do it, but it would be costly to implement.
