Global Permission

Quick Tip
Your global permissions must be set to Owner or Administrator in order to copy forms, set up integrations, invite users, and more.

The global permission a user is granted affects what they can do within your organization, and is the default permission granted when new forms are created within the organization.

  • Editors can manage form entries, but cannot build or publish forms.
  • Reviewers can only view or export form entries, but cannot make changes.
