Available plans: CMS plan and above (legacy plans)


Note: This article applies to Studio.Design's legacy pricing plans (Starter, CMS, and Business). If you're on one of the new pricing plans available since December 1, 2024, this information doesn't apply to you. To learn more about our current pricing, visit our pricing page.

About restricting access to form responses

With Studio.Design's form feature, you can view and manage form responses right from your Studio.Design dashboard.

For members with editor permissions, you can restrict access to form responses. Members with this restriction won't be able to view responses submitted through your published site.

This is useful when you have members who need to edit the editor or CMS but shouldn't have access to form responses. You can also remove the restriction at any time.

Details of the restriction:

What they can do

What they can't do

  • Place and edit forms in the editor

  • Test forms using Live Preview

  • View responses submitted through Live Preview

  • Configure overall and individual form settings

  • Download responses submitted through Live Preview as CSV files

  • View form responses submitted from the published site

Note: About access restrictions after downgrading your plan

If you downgrade to the Starter or Free plan, members with access restrictions will be automatically removed from the project. Consider changing their permissions before downgrading, or re-inviting them as members after the switch.

Tip: Other ways to set access restrictions

  • Workspace usage: You can set access restrictions for each member. See the related article for details.

  • Writer permissions: Writers don't have access to the form dashboard, so they're restricted by default. See the related article for details.
