I’m using a REST data connection in a form to lookup additional properties. Works great, nice and fast, does exactly what I want. However, when end users try it, they are denied access. But, what does the user need access to? And what permission level?
- I’m in list
- A new item opens the InfoPath form
- Typing anything in the text box sends the REST request when the field changes (user leaves the field).BTW, I’ve verified the REST URL does indeed work for these users.
- When trying this as an owner of the Sharepoint site, the lookup works. Otherwise, instead of returning the REST query results, Postback.FormServer.aspx redirects to AccessDenied.aspx, which correctly identifies the user, who does already indeed have Contribute access to the site.
So, the connection always works with the right account; what do I need to give my users access to to get this to work??
