If the form is internal, then anyone wishing to add a submission to the form would need to be logged in. For example, I could not add a sunmission to said form without knowing a URL where I could login. Even then, I would need the login credentials (a username and password) to login just to SEE the form.
My suggestion above with the link to the submission accounts module was for your users to be able to easily register a username and password to use for this said internal form. The "registration" form would need to be somewhere on your website, published for them to see, should you take advantage of this option. Otherwise, you'll need to manually create login credentials for each user you want to have access to the internal form.
So far, based on everything I've seen, you won't need to do any coding, unless you want to make the registration form as I've mentioned. Even then, you'd only need some basic HTML coding, as any website uses. I suppose, worse case scenario is that you ask people to contact you personally (via an e-mail address or something) with a request for a username and password. Then you'd have to create one for that person and let them know what it was.
As far as the admin functions go, you can set that up within the admin protal. You can make forms and their submission information hidden to everyone except yourself, you can give certain people access or everyone access.
Furthermore, you can set what fields are available in the "Views" tab per user. I'm not as comfortable explaining that in great detail, since I don't use that option myself. But I am pretty familiar with Internal Forms
Here's a link about customizing the "Views" area (Preventing Clients from Editing Submissions): http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/uned...bmissions/
More on form permissions: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/?pa...ermissions
And finally (I think this is the one you've been waiting for), information about ACCOUNT level permissions: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/ind...t_accounts
Hopefully this is the documentation you were looking for. I'm sure you've read through some of it on the site already, but finding exactly what you're looking for can be daunting sometimes.
Have you tried the Demo yet?
