Fill Form Anonymously as Administrator

skyo

Hello!

My manager has the only license in the company, so he's the administrator, I suppose. Is it possible for him to fill out the form with the anonymous web-form email address? Can we change what's already associated with his work email back to the anonymous one? Thanks!

Hi @skyo

Thank you for explaining your scenario further! No; when a notification is triggered by a web form submission it will show the Sheet Owner as the name on the notification. (See: Overview of Automated Notifications Sent via Smartsheet).

Please let the Product Team know if you have feedback on the sender name associated with notifications by filling in this form, here.

Thank you!

Hi @skyo

If you go to the Settings tab in the form you can make sure that the Security feature of making your users sign in to Smartsheet to access the form is turned off.

This will identify each form submission as coming from a "Form User" without associating it with any email, meaning that your manager could submit content through the form anonymously.

See: Configure the security settings of your form

Cheers,

Thanks, @Genevieve P. ! I suppose that leads to another question: If we apply this setting when a user submits a form response, will company-wide notification emails sent out from Smartsheet then be associated with an anonymous or "form user" email address? That's our primary goal.
