Restricting what certain users of a sheet can see

Roland Horwood

Hi all,

 

I like Roberts suggestion. Currently I have to generate multiple sheets, or accept the reduced functionality of a report vs a sheet to achieve restrictions on what user can veiw/change.

Hi Everyone

I need this function ASAP.  Does anyone know if Smartsheet has it in the works?

 

Thanks

This seems like another no-brainer type feature for a project management tool. Will be adding Robert's suggestion to the feature request queue and if you are reading this, I would ask you to please do the same.

Here is the link to the feature request form - https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form?EQBCT=739aa75f30ca43a8a22eb53e4da7d409&_ga=2.105132035.1071582626.1503325268-244820527.1495725722

"Feature request:  Add "Restricted Editor" and "Restricted Viewer" level of sharing



Problem:  Currently sharing a sheet provides 100% visibility into all content on the sheet.  To protect information we are faced with attempting awkward workarounds via reports or generating multiple tailored sheets.  Neither approach really works.



Solution:  Add a "Restricted Editor" and "Restricted Viewer" level of sharing.  The sheet Admin can restrict viewing and editing of the sheet based on one or more of the following factors:



1) Optionally set View/Edit permissions for rows only where the Assigned-To field matches the user login.  An example would be a project schedule where a Restricted Editor/Viewer should only be able to view and edit their assigned lines



2) Set certain columns as "Restricted" so that they would be obscured from someone with a Restricted Editor/Viewer status.  An example would be an employee information spreadsheet where Restricted users could see basic contact information for fellow employees but not restricted information such as home telephone number and salary."

Does anyone know if restricted viewing has been implemented?   I have the same need.  Thank you in advance.

I think this used to work but does not work any longer. It is very frustrating. No chance of a solution yet?

But how do you actually achieve that?

@smartsheet.  Any update on this?  A feature like this would help me get buy in from the rest of my company.  I like smartsheet and can work around most of its limitations but this would be a great one to get implemented.

Have you a received response or any information to this implementation?

Hi Smartsheet team, any answer to that old question?

Any plan to have that feature implemented soon? This is a real pain point.

Thanks in advance for feedback

Hi all,

Smartsheet recently released a new premium add-on called Dynamic View that could be an option.

Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.
