Cross-site Apps functionality permissions
Crow Canyon NITRO Forms, reports and etc. support cross-site (within the site collection). If “Admin” role wants to configure cross-site scenarios then they need to have permissions on those target sites as well. At the same time, user also need to have permissions on corresponding cross-sites.
For example, if “Admin” configures “Associated items” on a list from a sub-site in the site collection and adds it to the NITRO Forms then the user who is using the NITRO form need to have permissions on the target list from cross-site to view the associated items.
Required permissions for the user role on the cross-site/lists are based on the actions allowed. For example, if “Allow create item/Edit item” actions are enabled in associated items settings then user need to have corresponding permission level (add/edit items) on the target list in sub-site.
