Prevent sub-users from deleting submissions when "view submissions" permission is checked

    I'm aware that we can share form submission by making them public which prevents viewers from deleting however a lot of users here seem to need the Sub User accounts w/ "View Submissions" selected, to actually do what is says... JUST VIEW, NOT EDIT/DELETE. 

    Usually, "View" implies just that.. viewing. So I HOPE the developers deem this feature as important enough to implement. This way, the users whom I give a sub user account to will be able to view all submission w/o me having to select each form one by one, make it public, set a password, copy the link, then email that link to a user for them to view and not delete submissions.

    Hi,

    I think that's a good reason to separate both "view submission" and "delete submission" permissions. I have raised this as a feature request. You will be informed here once this is rolled out if ever this gets considered to be implemented in the future.

    +1 for this feature request - I've since learned about the public sharing via this article https://www.jotform.com/help/199-How-to-Share-Form-s-Submissions-Page. That works pretty well, but it's not exactly what I'd really like.

    We're a new user. We have the same desire to provide View-only (e.g. Read-only) access to form submissions. 

    It's scary that "viewers" have access to the "Delete All" button.

    FWIW, we're blown away by the product. Congrats on the 4.0 release.

    Best,

    John
