# Restricted Access

**Can I restrict a form to certain users?**

The unique form link acts as a password. You can circulate the form link only to users that you intend to gather responses from. As long as you do not add the form link to public channels (e.g. website), it will not be indexed by search engines. If the form link ends up widely circulated with non-authorised users, you may then filter such non-authorised submissions after export. &#x20;

See 3 other ways to restrict access to your form below.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Authentication" %}
You can use authentication to restrict your form responses and ensure that form responses are legitimate:

* [SingPass](/user-guides/advanced-guide/singpass-and-myinfo.md)/sgID
  * 1 Submission per NRIC/FIN/UEN
  * Whitelisted NRICs/FIN/UEN
* [Verified Emails](/user-guides/advanced-guide/email-confirmations-pdf-and-verification.md) (Including restricting form to certain email domains)
* [Verified SMSes](/user-guides/advanced-guide/verified-smses.md)&#x20;
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response limit" %}
You may also limit number of responses your form can receive.

**Step 1: Click on settings**

**Step 3: Set a response limit**

When maximum number of responses have been reached, this will deactivate your form. You can still reactivate your form again if you need to receive more responses
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

These methods are not mutually exclusive and may be combined. It depends on how many layers of restriction the form requires.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.form.gov.sg/user-guides/advanced-guide/restricted-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
