Single User with Multiple Permissions

Cheryl Crouse

Within a Workspace, can a single user have different permissions in different sheets? For example, can they be "Viewer" in the overall workspace, but be an editor in a specific sheet?

@Cheryl Crouse Yes. This is very possible. Workspace sheet level permissions essentially "override" the workspace permissions when you are giving them an increased level like this.

Your question of Viewer in workspace and Editor on Sheet is actually a perfect example of how you can control permissions.

For clarification.  If the user is shared to the Workspace as a "Viewer", can they be made an "Editor" on a specific sheet while still maintaining only Viewer permissions on all other items within the workspace?
