Organization Viewer Seats
Organization Viewer seats allow you to give teammates, clients, analysts, or stakeholders view-only access to forms and submissions without allowing them to edit forms or manage integrations.
With Formware Pro, you can invite unlimited users as Organization Viewers so your team can securely collaborate across multiple workspaces while keeping editing permissions restricted.
Organization Viewers are ideal for:
- Managers reviewing submissions
- Clients overseeing projects
- Agencies collaborating with customers
