Hi,
I have a list of adresses and would like to send an update request but without giving this person the rights to view the whole sheet.
Any ideas how to make this?
Thanks, Joachim
Hi Joachim,
If you send update requests they only get access to what you decide to be available in the request.
Would that work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée,
thanks for your kind reply to my question.
Unfortunately I have to give them access to the sheet minimum as a reader.
Without the access right they do not get the update request mail.
This means, that the form does what you describes, but they can open and read the whole sheet if they click the link they got in the footer of the update request mail.
Best wishes, Joachim
Happy to help!
It should work and if they aren't shared with the sheet they won't be able to access it.
Can you check the settings in my attached screenshots? Are your's set up the same?

Did it work?
Hi Andrée,thanks for your great help.
Unfortunately "unrestricted" is disabled by system admin :-(
best wishes, Joachim
I'm always happy to help!
I'll get back to you if I think of a workaround of some kind.

As a possible workaround, you could send out manual update requests.
Would that work/help?
Fine, this helps me for individual updates.
What I dis was an extra flag column and a worflow to send an update request to a certain email in another column if the flag is set.
This gave me the possibility to check the flags some lines and send all of them update requests if I save this sheet.
Because I have only a fes wlines your workaround is perfect and enough for me, because it sends update requests without the need to give them access to the sheet.
Thanks!
Excellent!
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…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
