Guest access to Forms only

mirto

Hello,
thank you for creating this space for discussion!

I am new to cryptpad and I am setting an instance for a small organization. It is intended for internal use - registered users only. All is going quite well, thanks to the documentations, but I am struggling with sharing Form links publicly.

What settings do I need so that a particular Form I share (to "participants") can be filled without people logging in, but no anonymous users can actually create new items (pads, kanbans, forms...)?

I might be missing something very obvious, but if my instance is set to Registered Users only (with AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes = AppConfig.availablePadTypes;), the form share link requests people to log in (with a blocking pop-up while loading). If I set all app types but forms in the AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes listening, people with Form link can submit their forms, but they also can create new froms, which we don't want.

Thank you for pointing me to right documentation or config!
Regards,

Mathilde

I believe what you are trying to achieve is not currently possible.

Hello,
Despite my attempts to fix this situation, I still haven't found a solution. Any advise would be great.

Here is how Public link displays:

Here are the settings :

In my customize/application_config.js I disabled access to all the "apps" :
AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes = ['form', 'drive', 'teams', 'sheet', 'doc', 'presentation', 'pad', 'kanban', 'code', 'poll', 'whiteboard', 'file', 'contacts', 'slide', 'convert', 'diagram'];
Or works the same with AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes = AppConfig.availablePadTypes;

If I want "Public link" for the Form be accessible to external people, I need to remove "form" from the above config, leaving it with AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes = ['drive', 'teams', 'sheet', 'doc', 'presentation', 'pad', 'kanban', 'code', 'poll', 'whiteboard', 'file', 'contacts', 'slide', 'convert', 'diagram'];
As above, I don't want external users to be able to create their own forms.

Please advise what configuration I am missing, or what is misconfigured.
Thank you.
