Provide Ability for Admins to Proxy as Another User

Please provide the ability for Smartsheet Admins to proxy in as another user and test their view out. I was building a report and I wanted to make sure that users who received it could only edit certain columns. Instead of proxying in as an Editor, I had to schedule a meeting with someone with that access and have him conduct impromptu testing with me. Would have rather not bothered him!

I've seen this feature on a lot of other system management platforms and would love to see it implemented here at Smartsheet.

The use case for this would be to help troubleshoot with users by logging in to see what they are seeing on their side. Additionally, this feature is extremely useful if a user is unavailable for whatever reason and someone needs ownership of an item transferred or changes made to a workspace. This feature would certainly help smartsheet support's ability to help troubleshoot issues users are having as well if they could access customer smartsheet environments and see what specific users are seeing.

It is inexplicable that Smartsheet does not provide a way for administrators to view and manage users' content. This feature or something like it is a must-have.

I’d like to know: Which resources (dashboards, sheets, forms, etc.) are getting the most traffic? Where are people spending their…
Form Upgrade to Pull In Data from Another Smartsheet Source
It would be extremely helpful if there was a way to have data pull into a form from another Smartsheet source based on selections made within the form. Example: On the form there is a dropdown to select a client property number. The property Name, Address, and any additional property information are then pulled into the…
