Thank you for the help!

i want to disable the feature from a certain form entirely, meaning that even the owner of the form shouldn’t be able to delete or edit submissions. is that possible?

Hi @igorts,

There is Library locking — KoBoToolbox documentation, but I’m not sure if you change the permissions of the owner.

What I would suggest is a workaround, is it possible to create a dummy account who owns the forms and creating users for other purposes?

If not, someone from the community might have a better solution.
Hope this works.
Best,

@igorts, the owner of the project is the admin and the admin always has the right to edit, delete submission.
