User Permissions

I thought I might have understood permissions in smartsheet, but its not making any sense to me.

I have 2 workspaces.

Workspace 1 - Contains 1 owner and 3 admins at the workspace level. There are a set of multiple sheets, reports, and a dashboard within a folder and subfolders. This workspace is reserved as a template location so only the admins have access to the template and will "save as new" for projects.

Workspace 2 - Contains the owner, admins, Users with editor-can share, and users with view access. When a new project is created, it is done by right clicking on the folder in workspace 1 and saved as new into workspace 2. This task is done by an admin with access to workspace 1.

The problem im seeing is that a user who has editor can share rights within workspace 1 will go into a project folder within workspace 1 and the editor rights appear correct on the sheets and reports, but they are only showing viewer rights on the dashboard that is within the same project folder.

when the folder is copied from workspace 1 to 2, do the rights of the workspace only apply to the sheets/reports by default? Does the dashboards not inherit the rights when the new dashboard is added, or do the permissions need to be set on workspace 1 as well?

hi @chhunt,

In dashboard there are only 2 permissions allowed: viewer or administrator.

There is no Editor permission available for Dashboards.

Hope this helps.

Thanks @kowal thats good to know. do you know if its possible give someone administrator level permissions on a dashboard automatically in the above scenario? if people were admins within workspace 1 but only editor on workspace2, when the template folder is copied, will they inherit the administrator level access to the dashboards? if so is this available with the basic licensing, or would you be required to have control center?

Thanks!
