Will and API token for a report give access to the Sheet the Report generated from?

Brattman

Hi, I have a large Smartsheet, I want to generate a row report that reduces information displayed down to a specific group.

For that Row Report, if I were to generate an API token and share it to a third party, will that third part have access to the information on the original 'Grid' sheet, or will it be reduced to what is only pulling in on that row report?

If the third party would have access to the entire original dataset from the origin 'Grid' sheet, are there permissions I need to set to prevent them from having access?

An API token essentially gives the holder access to EVERYTHING you have access to. It is basically the same as giving them your login credentials.

If you want to give someone access to a report without giving them access to the underlying data, you would publish the report and give them the published link, or you would put the report onto a dashboard.

Another option for sharing rows without sharing the underlying data set(s) would be to use the premium add-on Dynamic View.
