How to Edit a Microsoft Form with One Response per Person on iPad
Question details
The user wants to manage or edit a Microsoft Form to restrict submissions to one response per person using an iPad.
- Product
- Microsoft Forms
- Device & OS
- iPad
- Scenario
- Modifying form settings on a mobile device to limit the number of times a single user can submit a response.
- Observed behavior
- The availability of the 'One response per person' setting depends on whether the user is logged in with a managed organizational account (work or school) or a personal account.
Verify whether you are logged in with a personal Microsoft account or an organizational (work or school) account, as specific form restriction settings vary based on your account type.
Configure Form Settings with a Work or School Account
Use this method to access the form settings and enable the one-response restriction, provided you are using an eligible organizational account.
Microsoft restricts certain data collection features to enterprise and educational users. To use the 'One response per person' feature, both you and the respondents must be part of the same organization.
Launch Safari or Chrome on your iPad and navigate to the Microsoft Forms website.
Log in using your designated work or school account credentials. Personal accounts generally do not support this specific restriction feature.
Open the specific form you wish to edit. Tap the three-dot menu icon located in the top right corner of the screen, then select 'Settings' from the dropdown list.
Under the 'Who can fill out this form' section, check the box labeled 'One response per person'. If the option is greyed out or completely missing, your organization's IT policy may restrict it or you might be using an unsupported personal account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see the 'One response per person' option on my Microsoft Form?
This option is typically available only if you are using a Microsoft 365 work or school account. It is usually hidden or disabled for users on free personal Microsoft accounts.
Does it matter if my iPad is provided by my school?
Yes. If your iPad is managed by your school or organization, they may have specific IT policies or mobile device management (MDM) profiles installed that enforce or restrict certain Microsoft 365 settings, including Form behaviors.
Can I change the 'One response per person' setting after people have started replying?
Yes, you can toggle this setting in the 'Settings' pane of your form at any time. However, it will only apply to future respondents and will require them to log into their organizational account to verify their identity before submitting.
