Smartsheet Policy for your Company?

Has anyone written a Policy & Procedure for your company for rules around using Smartsheet?

I'm working on one now and don't want to reinvent the wheel (If anyone is willing to share) - and would take any suggestions of anything you recommend I include in our policy.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking we need to cover:

Who gets licenses/ approvals required for licenses
All work must be stored in a Workspace - no files in the "Sheets" folder
All Workspaces must be shared with the System Admin group.
Used for business purposes only
Sharing outside of the company
Publishing sheets
Including PHI/PII in sheets (We do have a HIPAA secure account)

I'd welcome any suggestions and/or samples if you're willing to share :-)

Thanks!

Also, here's a couple of articles on security features related to sharing and publishing that can be implemented at the account level by a System Admin:

I hope this helps!

Is there a way to prevent a shared user from seeing the data in the "View Detail" option? I'm trying to make sure that when a user is given access to view a report, they can only view the columns present in that report. The view might only show certain columns but the user can then click on the record as shown below and…
