The [Forms](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-website-content/forms.md) application enables content editors to create on-line forms. The forms can then be used to gather structured data from website users.

Access to forms functionality can be managed through [permissions](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/configuring-permissions.md) in the **Permissions** application, after you select the **Module -> Forms** permission matrix.

The Forms module has the following permissions:

- **Read form** – members of the roles are allowed to view form configuration, fields and layout (not the actual records).
- **Create form** – members of the roles are allowed to create new forms.
- **Edit form** – members of the roles are allowed to edit form configuration, fields and layout (not the actual records).
- **Delete form including data** – members of the roles are allowed to delete forms, including stored records.
- **Read data** – members of the roles are allowed to view form records.
- **Edit data** – members of the roles are allowed to create and edit form records
- **Delete data** – members of the roles are allowed to delete existing form records
- **Destroy form** – members of the roles are allowed to delete the version history of forms.

## Security for individual forms

The roles which are authorized to read and modify a form and its data can also be specified for individual forms. To do this, edit () a particular form in the **Forms** application and switch to its **Security** tab. The following two options are available:

- **All form users** – all users with access to the Forms application will be allowed to manage the form.
- **Only authorized roles** – only members of the roles added to the box will be allowed to manage the form.

> **Note:** General module permissions for the Forms module (described above) must be granted to the role first. Then, you can further customize access to particular forms using the form-level settings. The fact that a role has permissions to access a particular form is not sufficient – the form-level settings only define if the particular form will be listed in the **Forms** application.
