Is it possible to restrict who can view attachments in Smartsheets?

dhariza

For example, viewers can see the content in the sheet, but not the attachments?

Greetings @dhariza,

Using either a sheet or report, there is no way to limit the ability to view an attachment that I'm aware of.

However, this functionality does exist when using DynamicView. Using DynamicView, you can limit what information from the source sheet you share, including comments and attachments.

Thank you. DynamicView is an additional add on, is that correct?

@dhariza,

Correct, DynamicView is a Premium Service.

I use DynamivView in numerous ways and find it very helpful to limit what information I share and collect when working with various stakeholders, but internally and externally.

Hi @dhariza

I hope you're well and safe!

Depending on your need, you could also have the main sheet mirrored to another so-called helper sheet.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

@Andrée Starå - can you please explain what you mean by a helper sheet above? I do have Dynamic View but would, ideally, select only certain attachments within Dynamic View to which users have access. I don't want them to view all attachments within the row. Perhaps there is a workaround?
