I'm a licensed user, but would like to view one of my reports as if I'm unlicensed? Possible? How?

AJW

I want to debug my reports and automation before sharing permission with unlicensed users/viewers. I'd find it helpful to view my own work-product as if I were my own "customer" (i.e., unlicensed users). Can this be done?

Hi @AJW

I hope you're well and safe!

I'd recommend creating another user and setting the sharing permissions to what you'd like, and log in with the other account in Incognito/Private mode because then you can test it side by side.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks for the recommendation! Won't creating another user require me to use a different email address? Am I correct in thinking that the "Incognito/Private mode" to which you're referring is in my browser not Smartsheet.

Happy to help!

Yes, you're correct that you'd need another email account, and you're also right that the Incognito/Private mode is an option in your browser.

I use my personal email account as my "free" user in order to test access and permissions. I login with my corporate email address through our corporate-approved browsers (Chrome and Edge,) and with my personal email through Firefox. Then I can compare behavior side by side without having to worry about browser mode.

AJW

Thank you, both! I just created a "dummy" account using Yahoo mail, and then logged in via a different browser than I use at work. Seems to have done the trick. Much appreciated.
