I am new here and just installed 4.2.2 and pretty much have my forum setup.
I saw Bannalive excellent addon and its exactly what I was looking for but I need to use it in a slightly different manor than intended.

What I would like to do is have a Navbar button that allows my members to register their equipment by manufacturer, model, Year and serial number.

I created a form with all the fields etc and it works like a charm except that everybody can see what each person has. Now I know this was the main intent of the addon but in the options I have been able to limit it that it says "your form results" and no other options but the problem is that if i use a regular member account and they click on the record they saved it comes back and says:

"you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: etc etc."

This happens even if they have the only filled out form in the database. (made by the test user with regular access). If I go in and change the settings they can see everything and also see polls of all the data, which is something I don't want.

Even in the current mode I have no way of turning off the ability of a regular user to create a new form or import an xml form without also blocking them from seeing anything.

Basically I would like them to be able to access the form i made and put in their info and have it saved so they can come back and see it if they need to but not be able to see other users data. Only the moderator would be able to see all the data and be able to coordinate the data so we can create an anonymous table of serial numbers for each model by year.

(Using a Mountain bike forum for example)
For example the benefit to the members is lets say they wanted to know based on a serial number what year a particular model of mountain bike was made. The data we would have would show that based on information from our members that we know that serial number 10030 to 10950 is the earliest and oldest we have recorded for 2010. So if they are buying a used bike once they ask for the serial number they have an idea of when it was manufactured or sold.

They also have the benefit that if their bike is stolen they can look at the website and see what the serial number it was and even have records for bikes they may have bought and sold over the years.

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to explain what I am trying to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am so close to making this work if I could just figure out why they cannot see their own record without seeing the others and also be able to turn off the create new form without disabling the whole thing for the regular members.

Thank you for any help.
