We deployed a survey in SPS 2003 to an area. The survey was created so users
could submit it anonymously. The area has a group that contains all portal
users with the following permissions:

View Area - View an area and its contents; View Pages - View pages in an
area; Add Items - Add items to lists, add documents to SharePoint document
libraries, add Web Discussion comments

The problem is that once users submit a survey, they can go to the Survey
results and see everybody else's responses. We would like to not have any
responses shown at all for the users, or at the very minimum only the
responses users submited (although I'm not sure how this can be accomplished,
since the survey is anonymous).

Please help! Any ideas will be appreciated.

Hi Leo,

"The problem is that once users submit a survey, they can go to the Survey
results and see everybody else's responses. "
This is the design of Survey in SPS. When the user has the right to add
items in one list (the survey), he should have the view permission first.
At the view permission, he obtains the rigth to view the survey result.

For your requirement, you will need to develop your own survey for adding
view limitation on the survey result.

Actually, only a group of users are able to see everybody else's response.
Most users are only able to see only their responses (even though the survey
is anonymous) - I am assuming this is done via cookie. But some users (and I
think it's because they are domain admins) can see all responses. Their
usernames are not in the Manage Lists category in that particular area, nor
are they portal administrators. But I suspect it's because they are domain
admins and by extension administrators of the servers where SPS is deployed.
Could that be why they can see other people's responses? Do Domain Admins
override the rights granted in the Manage Security settings of an area? I
checked their permissions on the SPS Manage Users section, and they are just
like everybody else.

Any answers will be appreciated.

Hi,

From your description,these accounts (domain admins) should also be added
into the administrator group of your SPS server.Please check whether this
is, if so, please assign them from administrator group to the user group.
If they are at the admin group, they will obtain the SPS admin permission
then.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any question.
