Blocking Exporting

Jonathan Cordero

Hi,

Is there currently an option or setting to block a viewer from being able to export data? I cannot seem to find it. Thanks!

Jonathan,

No.

A Viewer can - excerpted from

https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1155182-sharing-permission-levels

View all the sheet data, including discussions
Export the sheet
Send the sheet, or rows, via email to themselves or others
Download attachments
Set own reminders and notifications
Sort rows and freeze columns for their own purposes, but can’t save these changes
Filter data in sheets with the "Unnamed Filter" or apply filters that an Admin has created
No editing or sharing power

Will I have ranted long on too many configurations, I believe these base privileges are a very weak link in security.

As a Viewer, I can export the data to Excel and this will bring over even the locked and/or hidden columns.

In general: Be careful who you share with. If they can see it, they can perhaps see more than you wanted them too.
