Permissions
After you approve the connection, the assistant can view your forms, responses, and analytics, and create, edit, and publish forms on your behalf. It cannot delete your forms or responses.
Form access is limited to the workspaces that belong to your account. Deleting a form or a submission is intentionally not available through the connection.
