 * Hi Steve. We don’t allow public submission of entries to our directory but I 
   would like to add a password protected form where office staff can add links.
   None have experience with WordPress so I don’t want them poking around in the
   backend. Is there a way to enable the submission form with a password as described?
   Thanks.

 * I tried some javascript and css to to require a password to show the containing
   div but couldn’t work it out. I’ll see if I can work it out. This isn’t critical
   but thought I’d ask.

 * I know you have a solution implemented…
 * I’m assuming you are using the frontend Form addon(?). You could navigate to 
   the Connections Settings admin page, click the Form tab, uncheck all fieldsets
   except, the Links option, and save the change.
 * The contributors should be able to add and edit links while maintaining the other
   entry data. They would still be able to edit the name, title, dept, etc… but 
   you could use CSS to hide those fields.
 * I hope this helps!

 * Thanks Steve. I appreciate the suggestion.
 * I am using the built in form. For now I password protected the div containing
   the form and also have the password need to be reentered every certain amount
   of time. I am using other settings in WordPress and disallowing login and requiring
   moderation so hopefully should be reasonably secure.
 * We only want our own staff to add entries in part to have some control over the
   contractors added which are basically companies we know work within our industry.
 * Thanks again.
