Editor - Can Share not able to unhide/hide columns
Why can't a person with Editor - Can Share permission no hide or unhide an unlocked column? This isn't removing/adding anything to the sheet, just assisting in their ability to view data more effectively in a large sheet.

Hi @rachelc ,
Only sheet owners or licensed Admins can manipulate columns like that. Editors can only do data entry.
All the best,

Hi Ray, thanks for your quick response. I guess my question to Smartsheet is "why". If an Editor can add data, why can't they be able to hide/unhide unlocked columns to make it easier to view/update, etc. Seems like a less invasive function than adding data.

I would also like to understand why an Editor with share access cannot customize their view of sheet to hide/unhide columns and specify the time scale. This should do nothing to the foundation data, just optimize the view for an individual user.

I appreciate the function of only allowing Admins and Owners to hide or unhide columns. I work for a large agency and this allows me to use reports that pull data from more sensitive data sheets without compromising confidentiality yet providing the information the sheet editors need.
