Create multiple accounts in KoBoToolbox

Hello,
I’m facing a strange problem right now. I have multiple (in hundreds) people who are going to enter the data across 50 or so regions which are further divided into sub-regions, and I don’t want them to fill the data in any other region except theirs.

If you have any other solution, please advice. Thanks in advance.
