How to constraint InfoPath form page view to certain group of users

Question

May I know if it is possible to set a constraint where certain group of users can see certain page view of a web-based InfoPath 2007 form?

Scenario:
I have 3 group of users - Group A, Group B and Group C
In my InfoPath form, I have 3 views - View All (which only Group A can view), Issue Loan (which only Group B can view) and Repair (which only Group C can view).
I do not wish to create 3 different form and hope to utilize the page view for InfoPath form in my scenario.

You can but it is not simple. I will provide some info to get you started.

Basically you need to find current user groups and then build view conditions according to your needs. This can be done by some coding or by using SharePoint webservices. There is one nice web service called Users and Groups Web Service with method called UserGroup.GetGroupCollectionFromUser Method. If you provide user login name to it (eg. by using userName() function in InfoPath) it will return all users groups.

However there is slight problem and InfoPath doesn't handle web service results as expected. This can be fixed by following steps in this article:
