Block users from copying, downloading or printing

Ian Macintosh

Hi,

We have developed some content that has sensitive IP, but which would be valuable to our clients to see as part of our processes. Is there a method in SS that allows me to set a 'view only' on the file that prevents users from printing, copying or downloading the content?

I know people can take screen shots, but it's big enough that stringing it back together would be a pain (multi column and multi row).

I know it can be done in Google sheets, but many of our clients don't have google accounts, and we would rather work in SS.

TIA

Hi @Ian Macintosh

I hope you're well and safe!

You'd need the Data Egress feature. (only available in the Smartsheet Advance Platinum)

Another option might be to use the Premium Apps Dynamic View or WorkApps.

Is any of those an option?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks. Looks like we will need to come up with a different solution.
