Please let me know what I am doing wrong here. I have:

1. A form that I have connected to a Submissions Table in the form settings
2. A repeater that I’ve connected to a dataset which is connected to the Submissions table.
3. When I view it in preview mode it works great.
4. When I view it on the live site, I get this error in my console `The current user does not have permissions to read on the Forms/contactForm03 collection.`
5. When I view the database permissions, it shows Anyone can add content, but only the Admin can view content.

I’m sure #5 is my hang up, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to edit those permissions.

Please advise, thanks!

I figured this out, I had to go the [custom form route](https://support.wix.com/en/article/cms-creating-a-custom-form-with-input-elements-that-submit-to-your-collection).

Wix should have a warning when you add a Wix Form element to your page that says something like “You will be able to view this data on the backend only.”
