Overview
Last year, Google announced that form creators can upgrade their existing forms to have granular controls over who can respond to those forms via sharing settings. Specifically, form creators can limit response access to specific users, groups, or target audiences, similar to how file owners can restrict the sharing of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Sites files in Drive.
Google have now announced that they will automatically upgrade all existing forms to have granular controls over who can respond. This automatic upgrade will not change who can access or respond to the form. Once the upgrade is complete, form creators can make changes to who can respond using the new granular controls, if desired. The form will remain available to receive new responses while it is being upgraded. Admins may see Drive log entries for forms we upgrade, indicating that Google have changed its “publish status.”
What does it look like?
You will see that you can now manage responders by adding individual users, groups or calendar events for Form responses.

Top tip
Remember and always think about the appropriateness of sharing any Form and do not include any sensitive or confidential information.
