Form sharing and configuring it with KoboCollect android app in a private server without sharing the login credentials

Dear Kal_Lam,
I want to connect our team to KoBo account to download the blank form for data collection without sharing the username and password. as they are our temporary team members, I mean enumerators.
So what would be the better way or method?

Welcome back to the community, @Hassani! Feel free to go through these steps as outlined below (based on the server you are using even if you are using a private server):

  • Go to this page from under your project:

  • Now copy the URL that you see under (3) which is https://kc.kobotoolbox.org for me but could be different in your case.

  • Now slightly modify the URL to https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/username where username is your KoboToolbox account.

  • Now go to your app’s Account Settings>Server and under the URL, page https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/username. So with these settings, you will not need to share the password with your enumerators.

Another option would be as outlined and discussed previously:

Thanks indeed and well noted!
