Filters - "Assigned to" not able to turn filter off

I am trying to look at an issue around a filter that is created in a sheet that is set to Assigned To current user, yes when they go into the sheet they only see the task assigned to them, but they are also able to turn the filter off and see all task in the sheet which we do not want.

I have added some screen shots that shows how it is setup (personal details have been blanked out)

There must be a way to stop the assign being able to turn the filter off, otherwise what is the point of it.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Cap,

There currently isn't a way to prevent someone from enabling/disabling filters in Smartsheet.

The Smartsheet permission model is centered around the idea that if a sheet is being share to someone, they can see all information in the sheet.

If you're looking for a deeper micro-management layer on top of Smartsheet which does have granular sharing (you can share parts of a sheet to someone without sharing them the entire sheet), then I'd recommend our Status View application. More information about it is available here: https://www.smartsheet.com/apps/status-view

How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
License Question
I already have a Smartsheet license with my company, but I was recently invited to collaborate on a sheet owned by another group within the same organization. When I accepted, I was told I need to upgrade in order to edit or contribute. Can you please explain why this is required? It seems unreasonable to need multiple…
