Make users & groups data available as a DataSet to be used in a Template Editor
Ability to map a list of GoFormz users to Templates instead of having to create a manual DataSet

Here's my use case for this feature:
We have several forms that go through an approval workflow. We have a User Group called "Approvers" which contains users who have the authority to approve the forms.
On the form itself, we actually allow for the user to select their approver, because unfortunately we don't have the data infrastructure necessary to connect users and their appropriate approvers (and sometimes our data is out of date).
It would be FAR easier to have a list available on the form pulling right from that user group, since users have to be managed no matter what. Right now, we have to maintain both the user group (for field conditional purposes) AND a datasource of the exact same users.
Another use case of ours:
We do have some forms that will pull a specific approver based on an ID number selected by the user filling out the form. However, sometimes the pulled approver is incorrect (again, data infrastructure is not always perfect). So we have the field display blank if the approver doesn't meet certain criteria and overridable so the user can select the appropriate approver. We want to be able to give the user a list of people who 1) Have a Goformz license and can actually approve through GoFormz 2) Have been designated (via a User Group) to be appropriate approvers.
Both of these are reasons why we want to be able to pull a list of users from a user group on the form.
Thank you!
