Sharing with partner organisations

Let another organisation on Faldaro see and use your form, without merging accounts and without either side seeing the other's submissions. Sharing is deliberately narrow: you share a definition, never data.

Two grains

Share a folder when a partner should work with everything in it, or a single form when a folder holds ten forms and only one is theirs. Both are found on the thing being shared — a folder's under its list of forms, a form's under its list of submissions, each as a Partner organizations row that says whom it is shared with — and both target a partner by their organisation's short name.

Where both apply, the stronger level wins. Folder sharing needs folder:share; form sharing needs form:share.

Access levels

LevelThe partner may
View Open the form and see how it is built. They cannot submit against it.
Submit Everything View allows, plus filing submissions of their own.

There is no “manage” level. Cross-organisation editing is blocked in the database itself, so a level that promised it would be a promise the platform could not keep — it is refused when you try to grant it rather than accepted and quietly ignored.

What the partner sees

A recipient sees the folder shell and exactly the form shared with them — never its siblings. They can read the definition, because they must in order to render it, and that is the limit:

  • They cannot edit it. Only the owner writes the definition.
  • They cannot share it onward, or create public links for it.
  • They never see your submissions, and you never see theirs.

Submissions stay with whoever made them

This is the asymmetry worth understanding before you share anything: definitions cross organisations, submitted data does not. A partner filing against your form owns those records; they are stored in their organisation, count against their allowances, and are invisible to you.

Two consequences follow. Their submissions trigger their integrations, resolved in their organisation — a form you shared fires their CRM, and your hook URL is never reachable from it. But payments resolve the other way, in the organisation that owns the form: you authored the price, so you are paid. Each rule follows from whose thing it actually is.

Digital delivery also works across a share, and a claim already issued survives the share being withdrawn.

Withdrawing a share

Remove the share and the partner immediately loses sight of the form. Submissions they already made remain entirely theirs — withdrawing your form does not reach into another organisation's records.

Not the same as child organisations

Sharing connects two independent organisations. If instead you run several entities that you administer — branches, subsidiaries, chapters — use child organisations, where a role on the parent grants its privileges throughout the subtree. See administration.
