Why can't I add new users to an existing group?

I have a group (with 56 current members) and I find that I can't any any new users (external to my organisation) as the error is "not part of your account".

Of the current membership, I have nine external organisations currently, and was a major decision to go with Smartsheets as a managemnt platform.

Am I missing something here, or has this recently changed?

Yes, a Sys Admin has to make the change. I'm not sure if this changed in some way with the new Admin Portal.

Hi @Mik Madden

I hope you're well and safe!

Have a look at the Security & Controls settings. (see below)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hi @Andrée Starå - no, I am not a system admin, I have only ever had group management rights.

Is this something that I need our SysAdmin to change for me? Did this just happen, as I have had no issues with this previously?
