Hello,

I'd like to know if it's possible to give external people access to data  
gathered from specifically _one_ form within a greater CommCare app? For  
example, if we want to share with a separate partner information gathered  
on a form, "Feedback: How Easy Was Filling Out Your Info?", but keep  
private information gathered on all other forms within the same app (e.g.,  
Personal Information, Contact Address, etc.), is there a way to allow this?

Best,  
C K

Hello,

Is there a specific way you're trying to share the data? The easiest way I  
can think of would be to create a Form Data Export  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Form+Data+Export](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Form+Data+Export) for  
just this form.

Cheers,  
Will

Hi William,

Yes; unfortunately I don't think the form data export would work because  
the main app within which the form would sit belongs to a partner of ours,  
and we don't have free access to their CommCareHQ portal. Is there a way to  
have free access to one form embedded within their app?

Best,  
Christine

Christine,

Unfortunately I don't know of any way to configure permissions at the  
individual reports level, though maybe one of my colleagues will have an  
idea. The best option I can think of would be to have your partner setup  
some push publishing system that makes the form report (as above) available  
to you on a regular basis.

Cheers,  
Will
