I have a form with a view. The permissions on the form are set to require users to log in to access the form. I would like to also require users to log in to see the view. Is there a way to set user permissions on views, or do I need to do that at the page/post level?

Formidable doesn't have a lot of options for views. I suggest something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-control/

replied 3 years ago Thanks! I kind of figured as much. I wrote a custom plugin for our site that only displays private content for logged-in users that I'm already using on some posts, but if I need more functionality I'll check content-control out.

replied 3 years ago I would really hope sometime in the future Formidable is going to step-up and allow for a better auhorisation / permissionsmodel. I really like Formidable Forms but compared to Gravity and for example hosted software like Typeform the lag behind so far 🙁

You can filter a view by [current user] if you captured the user id in the user's entry. To prevent unauthorized users from seeing the view, the view filter should be set to user_id equals [current user] OR user_id equals 0. If you don't use the second OR condition, Formidable will display all records in the view.
