Any updates to "View permissions on individual columns & rows"

Jaclyn Wise

Hello, 

The original "View permissions on individual columns & rows" was posted in 2016. The end result appears to have been you could not set permissions for individual columns & rows on a sheet but the request was being noted as a possible enhancement. Has there been any movement on this? I currently have a "Main Sheet" with confidential information. I have created reports for individuals and have set them as viewers only on the Main Sheet. I have hidden the hyperlinks on their reports. Since they are viewers on the Main Sheet in order for their reports to run, if they snoop, they can link back to the Main Sheet and review information not identified as theirs/on their report. 

 

Thank you,  

Shaine Greenwood

Hi Jaclyn,

There currently isn't a way to set permissions on the column and row level of a sheet. When you have a moment, please submit a product enhancement request using the form under Quick links to the right of the community site to let our Product team know how you'd like to see this feature function in Smartsheet.

I've been using this for over five months since I first wrote it and while not ideal, does improve some of the security concerns you mention
