README

Extends TYPO3's built-in form framework with folder-based storage organisation and fine-grained backend user permissions.

What this extension does

Out of the box, EXT:form stores all database-backed form definitions at the root level (PID 0) and exposes them to every backend user who has access to the table. This extension replaces that storage adapter with a permission-aware version that:

• Organises forms in pages – any page with the Contains Plugin field set to Forms becomes a valid storage location.
• Respects web mounts and page permissions – editors can only see and edit forms that live on pages within their web mount and for which they have at least PAGE_SHOW access.
• Restricts table access – both tables_select and tables_modify rights for the form_definition table are enforced.

Installation

Install this extension via composer req brosua/form-permissions.

Root (PID 0) is also accepted as a storage location for core compatibility.

2. Backend user group permissions

Grant the editing group the following rights in the backend user group record:
