Current User Filter

Cathy Betzer

Thank you all for your input here. Any comments about using current user in a WorkApp? I should not have to provide permissions to a sheet in order for the workapp to work. Any ideas?

I note this content from Smartsheet: Permission levels in WorkApps roles are independent of the Smartsheet permission levels for collaborators on the source item. If you share a WorkApp with someone, you don't need to grant them access to each Smartsheet item contained in the WorkApp.

@Paul Newcome if I have a sheet that I don't want to grant view access to for everyone outside my team, in order for me to have a report that they can use that sorts on current user, would I need to create a new sheet (workflow moving line items over from master sheet) just with the data I want to share and then create a report off of that filtered sheet?

@Ashley Kallberg Yes. This is also a perfect use case for the premium add-on Dynamic View if you have access to that.
