I've waited a couple years in hopes that the forms module has improved but there are still basic functionality missing.
The only way to grant access to a form is by Role, which then gives ALL contacts in that role not only access to create the form (fill it in) but SEE all the already filled in forms (ALL the forms) that the role has been assigned to. Also, we might not know how other projects are granting their user roles so we might be giving access to a form they shouldn't be able to use.
You could easily fix this by allowing us to only check "Create Form" whilst leaving "View Form" unchecked but that doesn't seem possible. There is a huge need to only allow users to fill out a form but not see any of the data submitted (or at least just allow them to see their own form data not everyone's).
Permissions could easily be fixed too by allowing permissions by Distribution Groups. That way you don't have to fiddle with the Roles at all.
