WorkApps - Admin Permissions on Assets
Hi,
We are using WorkApps more and more to create a "one-stop shop" where users can go to access forms, sheets, reports, dashboards & dynamic views.
Some users have admin access to sheets, and we lock certain columns to ensure that editors can only amend specific information.
However, when sheet admins use WorkApps then they cannot edit the locked records, since the WorkApp page permission overrides the sheet permission. This means that either Admin's need to access the sheet directly, or we need to unlock records.
Am I missing something?

Sounds about right. Are you looking for some kind of guidance on a specific issue?

@Paul Newcome I was primarily checking that I was not missing something in the way that we were using or configuring WorkApps.
This is a real hindrance as we have several scenarios where it is required that sheet editors see certain information but are not able to amend. We have dynamic view so will see whether how to use this for a workaround.

Hi @Neil Watson
I hope you're well and safe!
As a possible workaround.
- Could you add a Report that Admins could use to edit the sheet(s)?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
