To invite Limited Access users to specific form views:

  1. Invite the user to your organization and set their permission level to Limited Access.

  2. Once the user has accepted their invitation, assign them to a workflow role (ex: Accountant). Make sure to save both the Edit Role dialog and your form.

  3. On the Entries page, create a new form view. In the view settings, set the Role to the specified workflow role. Now, the user can create new entries in this role on the Entries page.
