Users are able to edit their submission

I have my form submissions link set to "public" "read-only" and when publishing it to my website, people are still able to edit the submissions. Is there a way to have the submissions set to read only?

Hi Kallie,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me help you with that:

To ensure your form submissions are truly read-only when shared via the submissions link, you need to verify the settings carefully. The "public" and "read-only" options should prevent editing, but if users can still modify submissions, it might be due to how the link or permissions are set.

Here’s how to make sure submissions are view-only:

1. Go to your form’s Submissions page.
2. Click on the Share button to get the submissions link.
3. Ensure the link is set to "Read-Only" mode, not "Edit" mode.
4. Double-check the permissions on your website where the link is embedded to avoid any overrides.

If the issue persists, consider embedding the submissions in a way that restricts editing, such as using an iframe with disabled inputs or sharing a PDF report instead.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Kallie,

I checked the ables embedded on your website, and I was only able to view the data and unable to replicate the issue. Take a look at the screenshot below to see my results:I went ahead and cleared your form cache, as this typically fix minor form issues. Can you go ahead and try it again and let us know how it goes? If you’re still having the same issue, we’ll look into it more to see if we can figure out what’s going on.

Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.

That worked, thank you so much! Have a great day!
