Disable Edit Button on Power Form Edit
Enhancement Request: Disable or Hide Edit Button for Non-Owned PowerForms
Problem Statement
Users assigned the DS Template Creator permission profile can view all PowerForms within the account. For PowerForms created by other users, the Edit button is displayed and enabled, allowing users to open the PowerForm configuration page.
Although users do not have sufficient permissions to save changes to PowerForms they do not own, the presence of an active Edit button creates confusion and suggests that they have editing rights.
Requested Enhancement
Modify the PowerForms user interface so that users can only edit PowerForms they own by:
- Hiding the Edit button for PowerForms owned by other users, or
- Displaying the Edit button in a disabled/read-only state for non-owned PowerForms
Business Value
- Improves user experience by aligning the UI with actual permissions.
- Reduces confusion and unnecessary support inquiries.
- Prevents users from spending time making changes that cannot be saved.
- Makes ownership and security boundaries more intuitive and transparent.
- Aligns PowerForm behavior with the principle of showing only actions a user is authorized to perform.
Expected Behavior
When a user views the PowerForms list:
- For PowerForms they own: Edit button is enabled.
- For PowerForms owned by others: Edit button is hidden or disabled, optionally with a tooltip such as:
"You can view this PowerForm but only the owner or an administrator can modify it."
This enhancement would provide a clearer and more intuitive user experience while maintaining the existing security model.
