you’ve set up a Forms library in SharePoint 2010 and have published an InfoPath 2010 form to it. You’ve got requirements that state that users in one particular SharePoint group are only allowed to add items to the Forms library. Your form has a submit button on it and you name your files with a unique user/timestamp value the first time a form is submitted (Submit rules) and overwrite the files on subsequent submits (Edit rules).
Since you only want certain users to be able to add items to the library, you set up an “Add Items” permission level and grant that permission to the Forms library for your SharePoint group.
When you submit the form, you get “The form cannot be submitted to the specified SharePoint list or document library. The SharePoint location may be read-only or you may not have permissions to access it.” The group has permissions to add items to the Form library, so what’s up with that?
When following the Auto-Generating Filenames pattern, make sure you check the “Stop processing rules when this rule finishes” checkbox after you’ve defined your Submit rules and your Edit rules. If you don’t, your Submit (add) rules will fire, and the form will be saved successfully. Then, your Edit rules will fire and will attempt to update the form. Your users don’t have the update permission, so the “you may not have permissions” message fires.
Hope this help !!
