Folder ownership within a workspace

Stephaniefritch

we have multiple workspaces set up for each customer to prevent accidental cross sharing. when our PM's create a new project folder within the customer workspace the ownership of the folders and sub files is all assigned to the workspace owner.

Can Folder ownership be individual within the workspace

if not, an workspace owners be assigned to a group?

all workflow emails are generated as coming from our team member that made the workspaces and is confusing our teams.

the work around we are using is to move sheets to a personal sheet folder then back to the workspace, but the folder still remains under workspace owner - which with larger teams its not easy to identify who is managing what projects

Hi there,

I believe what you are trying to accomplish is outlined in this article. https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2482534-share-item-from-workspace

I had to do something similar where I needed team members to have access to a specific sheet, but not the other items in the workspace, and this is the article I used to accomplish that. I would recommend testing it out though, just in case. Hope this helps!

Hi Sam, Specifically looking at folder ownership within a workspace as we have multiple users that assist the same customer.. all the folders in the shared workspace have the workspace owner set as the owner instead of the user that created them.
