  Hi Ian,
  
  This is not possible in the standard way as you can do with Work Item forms but you do some cleverness with java script to hide certain elements based on AD group membership. Create your forms with all the tabs and then hide the custom tabs for users who aren't member of a group. This combines code from @Morten_Meisler 'Target AD Groups for Custom Tasks' and @seth_coussens 'Dynamic Forms'
  
  

  var url = window.location.href;
  if(url.indexOf("/AssetManagement/HardwareAsset/Edit/") > -1 ) {
  
  	var GroupName = "DOMAIN\\MyADGroup"
  	$.ajax({
  		url: 'http://' + window.location.host + '/api/V3/User/GetUsersGroups',
  		async: true, //this is the default but showing that it can be turned off
  		data: {
  			id: session.user.Id		
  		},
  		type: "GET", //this particular portal API call is a GET type
  		statusCode: {
  			200: function (data) {
  				//Call function to hide or show task
  				hideShowTab(data);
  				}
  		},
  		error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
  			//debug console.log(errorThrown);
  			//debug console.log(textStatus);
  		}
  	});
  
  	function hideShowTab (data) {
  
  		var IsMemberOfGroup = false;
  		//for each returned group that user is member of..
  		$(data).each(function () {
  
  			console.log(this.Name)
  			//Check if the returned group matches our groupname
  			if (this.Name === GroupName)
  			{
  				IsMemberOfGroup = true;
  			}
  
  		});
  
  		if (IsMemberOfGroup)
  		{
  			//User is member - tab will be shown
  
  			console.log("User: " + session.user.Name + " is member of group: " + GroupName)
  		}
  		else {
  
  			//User is not member of group - Hide tab
  			console.log("User: " + session.user.Name + " is NOT member of group: " + GroupName)
  			$('a[data-toggle=tab]').each(function() {
  				if(this.innerText === 'CUSTOM TAB') {
  					$(this).hide();
  				}
  			});
  		}
  	}
  }

  Thanks Geoff.  Would this go into the custom.js file?
